Sporting Gijón form and stats

Sporting Gijón have performed here at Estadio Municipal El Molinón this season with 6 wins from 10 La Liga 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 0.

Gijón enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Amorebieta's place. The match ended 1-0 with Cristian Salvador scoring. Preceding that game was the away draw at Lugo that finished 0-0.

The victory against Amorebieta came after Cristian Salvador's winning goal. The Gijón manager D. Gallego Rodríguez was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 66th minute.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Gijón have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn two and lost four.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Sporting Gijón as they have a new game in only four days, a Copa Del Rey match thankfully also at home. Real Betis are visiting.

Gijón are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. Defensively Gijón have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (5 in 10 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
