Sporting Gijon vs Alcorcon Predictions

• Gijon are on a eight match unbeaten run (W4, D4)
• Alcorcon have won three of their last six but remain in the relegation places.
• Alcorcon have won just one of the last nine meetings between these two sides.

Tight victory for Gijon

Sporting Gijon come into this match hoping to cement their place in the Segunda Liga playoff places with the side currently sitting in fifth.

Automatic promotion isn’t out of reach for the side with just six points separating second and fifth but the hosts will need to convert more draws to wins to make that happen. Their recent form has been good with the team going unbeaten in eight games but four draws in that time means that they have lost a little ground on the sides directly above them.

Alcorcon have had a small resurgence in recent weeks with three wins in their last six matches but that run hasn’t been able to push them out of the relegation places. They remain in 19th on goal difference and represent a real challenge for the home side this week with both teams desperate for the win.

We think that Gijon should have too much quality for their opponents but it could be a lot close than the table would indicate. We’re backing Sporting Gijon to win in 90 minutes but Alcorcon will put out a good account of themselves with a final score of 2-1 to the hosts.
