Sporting Gijon vs Almeria Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has landed in three of Almeria’s last five games.
• Almeria are the second top scorers in the division, with 59 goals.

Sunday’s Segunda Division game between Sporting Gijon and Almeria will be a high stakes affair, with Sporting Gijon currently two points behind Rayo Vallecano who occupy the last playoff spot.

This is not a dead rubber for Almeria either, who are level with Leganes and Girona on 70 points and will be looking to secure the best possible league position in order to get a kinder draw in the playoffs.

Almeria have been part of some high scoring encounters recently, with over 2.5 goals landing in three of their last five games, including a 2-1 win of Logrones on Monday.

José Gomes’ men are the second top scorers in the Segunda this season, with their 59 goals bettered only by league leaders Espanyol.

With Sporting Gijon needing to win the match to have a chance of progressing into the playoffs an open game seems likely as they try to force the issue. Subsequently, over 2.5 goals is the bet.

Sporting Gijon’s desperation to get a result combined with Almeria’s firepower means that the score prediction for this game is a 2-1 win to Sporting Gijon.
