Sporting Gijon vs Cartagena Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga 2

Prediction published on 11/12/2022, 00:01  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

An away win at Lugo lifted Sporting Gijon to 12th place in the Segunda Division in Spain and they will hope to build on it when they play host to FC Cartagena in their next league match. Sporting Gijon will head into this game on 26 points, five behind sixth placed Cartagena. Sporting Gijon beat Lugo 1-0 to end a three-game winless run and it was also their first time scoring in three games. They have two clean sheets in five league matches and four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. They have a good scoring average, having managed at least a goal per game but it is their defence that really lets them down. Sporting Gijon have conceded 21 goals in 19 league matches, and scored 22 in the same period. They head into this game with just one win in eight league matches.

FC Cartagena are at risk of dropping out of the promotion playoff places. Their loss at home to Villarreal II exacerbated this, and they will be looking to recover here, being just two points above seventh placed Granada. Cartagena’s 1-0 loss in the last game ended their two-game winning run and that was also their second loss in four league matches. They come into this one with one clean sheet in five league matches, and having scored more than a goal in just one of the five matches. They have also conceded more than a goal in one of the last five league matches and three of the five matches have ended in under 2.5 goals. FC Cartagena’s away form has deteriorated lately and their 1-0 win over FC Andorra in the last away game is their only victory in five. Four of the last five away league games have produced under 2.5 goals.
