Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Home Win – 2.10
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Home Win and Two or more total match goals – 2.75
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap Draw -1 goal Sporting Gijon – 3.60
It is true that Cartagena’s season has been very good, but the truth is that they are a team that score the vast majority of points at home, while they are very inconsistent away. In addition, Sporting are a very big team with a large social mass, which we are sure will have an influence on their team to get the three points in these difficult times for them.
Two teams that average more than two total goals per game face each other, so we think this could be a game with at least two total goals.
Although we believe that Sporting Gijon can win this game, we don’t think they will win it by much, so we think that a good handicap would be to deduct a goal from them so that the game could end in a draw.
It is clear that this has not been an easy season for Sporting Gijon, a team that used to be one of the biggest teams in Spain, a team with a lot of history that are now struggling.
Sporting’s last eight matches have ended in one win, one draw and six defeats. In those matches they have conceded a total of 12 goals, while they have scored nine goals.
Sporting maintain an average of 13.94 shots per game, of which 5.31 shots per game are on target.
