UD Ibiza have 25 points running out as the hosts. Sporting Gijón have got 24 points playing the role of visitors. What are the odds of this being a home win?

Insights:
  • UD Ibiza have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
  • Sporting Gijón is in the worst form (0-2-4)

These teams have little in common geographically as Sporting Gijón have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

UD Ibiza form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, UD Ibiza have managed 2 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games.

In their previous game, the manager Carcedo Mardones led his Ibiza to a defeat in the Copa Del Rey match away at Ponferradina (after extra-time). The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Escobar, defender, was given a rating of 7.81/10 in that game, top of the team. Escobar hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes and won 4 of 8 duels.

Before that, Ibiza drew at home versus Girona.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ibiza have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost one.

UD Ibiza are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. UD Ibiza have conceded 10 in these home matches.

Sporting Gijón form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sporting Gijón so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-5 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Sporting Gijón, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Alcorcon game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Gijón are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Copa Del Rey against Alcorcon (after extra-time) (placed 22nd). Đurđević came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Alcorcon (after extra-time) last time out, making the manager Gallego Rodríguez feel like a tactical genius. Đurđević, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.14. Đurđević scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Huesca in the La Liga 2.

Gijón are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Gijón rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 15 goals from these away matches.
