📊 Form Guide

Sporting Gijón

DLWWDL ⚖

Sporting Gijón will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-0 La Liga 2 loss in their previous game against Racing de Santander.

In that match, Sporting Gijón managed 63% possession and 19 shots at goal with 6 on target. Racing Santander had 16 shots on goal with 10 on target. Jordi Mboula (12') and Matheus Aiás (24') scored for Racing de Santander.

An interesting aspect of more recent Sporting Gijón games is the number of results with a nil in them.

Taking their previous six clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've been a losing one. While that may be of interest, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern might persist in this next game.
