Gijon vs Valladolid Prediction & Betting tips
While in the meantime almost everything in football is only about the soon to be starting World Cup in Russia and the current form of the participating national teams, there are still interesting decisions in club football. So Spain is currently looking for the third and last climber from La Liga 2. This is currently determined in the promotion uplift, which have already begun in the semi-final first leg of the week. The teams are in positions three to six. These include next to CD Numancia and Real Zaragoza also Sporting Gijon and Real Valladolid.
In this article, we’ll look at the semi-final second leg between Gijon and Valladolid. The starting position after the first leg clearly speaks for Valladolid, who won their home game on Thursday. The first half last Thursday Gijon slept totally and collected completely deserved equal to three goals. In the half-time break Gijons chief coach Rubén Baraja must obviously have hit the right words, because Sporting acted suddenly at eye level and scored the important away goal for a 1: 3-final score. Gijon thus needed on Sunday (10.06., 19:30 clock) a victory with at least two hits, at least to achieve the extension and at best even qualify directly. Whether this succeeds remains to be seen, because Real Valladolid was difficult to beat away from home. Regardless of who ultimately prevails, we recommend here a tip that both teams meet, and play at odds to 1.91 with a low bet of two units.
Gijon:
Sporting Gijon got off in the last season again from the top Spanish league and has been fourth in La Liga 2 (balance sheet 21/8/13, goal difference: 60:40) all chances for the direct resurgence. The squad of coach Rubén Baraja laid the foundation for the good position in the Estadio Municipal El Molinón, the home ground of Gijon, where on Sunday also the second leg will be played. In addition to three draws and three defeats there are at least 15 victories. So could win a total of four of the last five home games, including against the leaders Rayo Vallecano (1-0). In addition to a neat offensive, which was one of the better of the league with 60 hits, the defensive was also regularly on their best side here. Overall, Gijon conceded only 40 hits in the main round (third best defensive), home even only fifteen.
A look at the form table, however, suggests something bad at first. Four of the last five games in the main round lost the Baraja Elf. However, this is almost exclusively the away games against Real Zaragoza (1: 2), CD Tenerife (0: 1) and on the final day against the Cordoba CF (0: 3). Only the home game against Granada could decide Sporting with 2: 1 for themselves. The 1: 3 defeat in the playoff first leg fits well into the picture, after all, it was the fourth away defeat in series. On the other hand, the strong home record, in which a defeat has eleven victories in the last race, provides some encouragement, six of which would have been enough for a direct final draw, as a result of the results.
Valladolid:
Real Valladolid sniffed the climb last season, missed in seventh but just short of the playoffs. This year, the team of coach Sergio González Soriano could increase again and reached with a 19/10/13-Bln and a goal difference of 69:55 the strong fifth place. The gap to Sporting Gijon was four points in the end but not a disadvantage in the promotion play-offs. Even at Real Valladolid home strength was a cornerstone of the good season. The away balance is certainly not optimal with five wins, seven draws and nine defeats, but by no means devastating. What’s interesting about the second leg is that the Soriano team had to score 30 goals in third places, which is one of the worst scores among the top teams. So Real Valladolid conceded an average of one and a half goals per away game and even scored only one on average.
The latest form of Valladolid, however, can certainly be proud of. Of the last five games in the main round could be won at playoff participants CD Numancia (1: 0) and relegated Lorca FC (1: 5) and at home against Albacete Balompié (3: 2) and CA Osasuna (2: 0) , Only at Real Zaragoza sat it a 0-2 defeat. The form confirmed the Soriano-Elf also last Thursday in the playoff first leg against Gijon. The first half clearly dominated Valladolid and rewarded with three goals. Without conceding in the second half would have been more than half the rent already retracted. So should now at least one goal ago in the return leg, what away away last least four times in succession succeeded.
