Sporting Gijón

WWDLLW

Sporting Gijón fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 1-0 La Liga 2 victory versus Real Zaragoza.

In that match, Sporting Gijón had 67% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Sporting Gijón was Daniel Queipo (3'). At the other end, Real Zaragoza had 7 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

An interesting trait of more recent Sporting Gijón games is the number of nil scores.

From their prior 6 matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have lost. That kind of trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.

Looking at their past form shows that Sporting Gijón:

• have not lost a league tie with Málaga in their last 4 matches.
• are winless against Málaga in their previous 2 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 3 home league matches.

In that match, Málaga had 57% possession and 8 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Málaga was Lago Júnior (43'). Burgos got 8 shots at goal with 1 on target. Álex Bermejo (63') scored for Burgos.

The stats tell the story, and Málaga have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 7 goals in all. In defence, Málaga have seen their frailties exposed.

Their previous form shows that Málaga:

• are winless against Sporting Gijón when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not good at all.
• have not won away from home in their last 10 league matches. A poor run.
