Granada vs Sporting Gijon Betting Tips and Predictions

Both sides go into the game in the relegation zone and the loser here if there is to be one will really be faced with a tough battle to beat the drop. Sporting Gijon are 1 point better off than their opponents but failed to win any of their 5 matches in February despite scoring in all of them. When you consider 4 of the 5 were at home they have every reason to be disappointed with that particularly their 4-2 defeat against an out-of-form Espanyol last time out.

Granada’s stay in the top flight is once again looking like it could be about to end but they’ve been here before and pulled off a great escape so they will still believe they can stay afloat for another year. They picked up a 1-0 win at Deportivo last time out to end a 4 game losing streak and so can carry a little bit of confidence into this game.

There hasn’t been a draw in any of Granada’s last 17 games in all competitions so we could well expect a result here. Both teams have scored in 7 of Sporting Gijon’s last 8 matches and it would have been 8 out of 8 had Valencia not been so wasteful in front of goal when the sides met at the Mestalla. Defensively they look really poor at times though and Granada have just enough attacking quality to take advantage of that. Both teams have scored in all of Granada’s last 3 home matches too so backing both teams to score at 19/20 looks a decent punt here.
