Sporting Gijon vs Deportivo La Coruna Predictions

• Deportivo La Coruna have won nine of their 16 away games
• Sporting Gijon have only won one of their last six matches
• Four of Deportivo La Coruna’s last ten games have finished as 2-1 wins for them

Visitors to extend impressive away run

Deportivo La Coruna have been the best away team in the Segunda Division this season and can continue that trend when they visit Sporting Gijon on Saturday.

The visitors have won nine of their 16 road trips and were handed a big boost in the title race as Racing Santander were beaten 4-0 by Albacete last time out.

Antonio Hidalgo’s men are now four points off top spot after winning six of their last eight games and they could give their chances a big boost with another away victory.

Sporting Gijon by contrast have won just one of their last six games and have failed to score in three of their last four matches. That run of results has left them ninth in the table, some five points off a play-off spot in an ultra-competitive division.

The hosts were beaten 1-0 by Deportivo La Coruna in the return fixture and could suffer a similar fate in this clash. Side with the Herculeans to pick up another win which could move them closer to a return to La Liga for the first time since 2018.

Sporting Gijon’s last three defeats have all been by a single goal and they could lose this one 2-1.   

Three of Albacete’s last eight games have finished 2-1 and they are fancied to edge this encounter by the same scoreline.
