Gijon vs Numancia Prediction & Betting tips
It is no secret to anybody that the two teams are even and competitive in their actions. However, if we consider that the place usually becomes strong every time it acts in the Molinón, we believe that the bet “more 1.5 goals” is interesting to bet. Remember that the visit has scored and yielded several goals in their first two league outings, demonstrating a dangerous imbalance between the lines. Paint to be an intense duel, but with spaces to elaborate.
Sporting de Gijón:
Gijón’s squad visited Deportivo in Riazor last Sunday and added a painful defeat from the emotional (1-0 with a goal conceded to the 49 ‘minutes of the second half). Currently has 7 points in the general table, leaving behind a streak of 3 games without defeat (1 draw and 2 wins in a row). Now his goal is to recover from this fall and add a triumph that allows him to stay in the top 6 of the championship. Despite this hard blow, it is still a well-trained and well-worked eleven in all areas of the field (5 goals in favor and 2 against).
As a local in the Molinón, Sporting has played two games so far, which have been positive for their league aspirations. It comes to beat 2-0 to Nástic and 2-0 to the promoted Extremadura. In the first game he scored in the first half and settled the procedure in the complementary stage. In the second, he suffered more to win, as the first goal was scored at 28 ‘minutes of the second half. For this duel it is expected that coach Rubén Baraja maintain the 4-2-3-1 system that he has been using regularly, which allows his boys to be balanced between lines and effective when attacking.
Numancia:
The team comes from playing against Elche as a local in “Los Pajaritos” and added its first victory in the competition (1-0). These days, he has 5 units in total, product of 2 draws in a row, 1 loss and the aforementioned victory against the Elche. At the moment, the performance of the team can be classified as acceptable, since it has shown interesting things when attacking. Of course, he needs to strengthen his defensive proposal, trying to repeat what was done in his last league presentation (1st game in which he was able to keep his fence unbeaten).
As a visitor, Numancia has played two matches in total, which have not been good for their football interests (draw 3-3 against Córdoba in the new Arcángel and defeat 3-2 against Lugo). Of course, this fall was very painful for the squad, after winning 0-2 partially and receiving the third goal on the final (50 ‘minutes of the second half). For this exit it is expected that the holders take their precautions, since they will clash against a fit and offensive opponent by nature. Of course, despite this irregular start, the team has what it takes to score. It is enough to know that he made 5 goals in these outings to corroborate this statement.
In the last 5 and a half years, Sporting de Gijón and Numancia have met 5 times in the Molinón. These are the results of those matches: Draw 1-1 in January 2013, equality 2-2 in March 2014, victory 3-0 of Sporting in January 2015, equality 1-1 in September 2017 for the Copa del Rey and Sporting’s 2-0 victory in February 2018. Apparently, every time both teams collide, there are always goals in between. Considering this, we believe that the pattern can be repeated once more.
