Sporting Gijon vs Eibar Predictions

Potent hosts to secure the points

Sporting Gijon are the best bet to win at home to Eibar on Sunday. The visitors are yet to win away in La Liga 2 this season – they have drawn one and lost five on the road – and Sp Gijon can take advantage.

Gijon have been potent in attack, scoring an average of 1.67 goals a game in their three La Liga 2 home games against bottom-half teams this season.

Eibar’s recent results do not inspire confidence. They have won just one of their last seven La Liga 2 matches, and have sustained six defeats on their last seven away days in the league. In fact, they have failed to win nine of their last ten games on the road.

Eibar have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just four goals in six games – an average of 0.67 goals a game on the road.
