Deportivo La Coruna vs Sporting Gijon Predictions

• Deportivo haven’t any of their last six matches against Sporting Gijon.
• Deportivo have only lost four of their 15 home games this season.
• Sporting Gijon have only won three of their 15 away games this season.

Deportivo weren’t expected to struggle as much as they have this season, with the former La Liga side currently occupying one of the four relegation places in the Segunda Division. Sunday’s hosts lost 4-0 away at Almeria last weekend and have now failed to win any of their last four matches.

However, Deportivo are unbeaten in their last six home games and have only lost four of their 15 matches at the Estadio Abanca-Riazor, so will believe they can earn the result needed this weekend to possibly move them out of the bottom four. Sporting Gijon provide the opposition this weekend and sit 6pts clear of Deportivo in the Segunda Division table following their 4-0 win at home to Las Palmas on Monday.

The hosts have a good recent record against their guests, picking up four wins and two draws from the pairs’ last six meetings, so Deportivo will believe they can take something from this game. Both teams have scored in four of the duos’ last six encounters as well as in 60% of Deportivo’s home games this season, which makes our prediction for a 1-1 draw look likely.

Deportivo have only lost four times at home this season while Gijon have dropped points in 12 of their 15 away trips and that only adds weight to our double chance prediction for a home win or a draw on Sunday. Deportivo score an average of 1.20 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.33 goals, which ties in perfectly with our prediction for a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
