Gijon take on the visitors Cartagena in the round 20 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Sunday, December 11th at Estadio El Molinón (Gijón).
Gijon since 2008 have spent 2 fairly long stretches in the LaLiga. But after the recent relegation in 2017, it is impossible to climb there again. There were attempts to break into La Liga a couple of times, but in fact only once there were chances, immediately after returning to the Segunda: 4th place and failure in the play-offs. In the last temporade, there was a 17th final position at all. And this is the worst result in almost the entire history of this project! But it still turned out to be added just before the denouement, after Abelardo returned to the post of head coach. Of course, in comparison with such “successes”, it was easy to add. Yes, in general, the results are modest, and the Gijon remain the middle peasants of the Segunda. But, on the other hand, in November turned out not to lose. And after 0-1 with “Las Palmas”, Sarfino managed to beat “Lugo” on the road due to the only late goal.

Cartagena can still be considered a young team, especially by Spanish standards - just over a quarter of a century of history, after launching in 1995. However, already in 2009 it was possible to break into the Segunda for the first time. Having fallen out of there after 3 years, it turned out to return in 2020. And it has already been possible to repeat the first success, moreover, there is a constant progress of the “zebras”. If at first the newcomer limited himself to only 16th place, that is, there was a struggle for survival, then already in the last draw it turned out to move to the middle of the table, to 9th position. And now the wards of Luis Carrión are quite claiming a place in La Liga - albeit not directly, but in the playoff zone, a modest, but ambitious and well-organized team is holding up well. Recently it turned out to beat Eibar (2-1 at home) and Andorra (1-0 away). But on December 7th, Cartagena lost at home to Villarreal B. It was this misfire at the cost of 3 points that created a backlog from “Burgos” and “Alaves”, which share the 2nd place.
In the season before last, “Sporting” was able to take a victory and a draw. But then the parties exchanged victories among themselves. Both Gijon and Cartagena, albeit for different reasons, must play in this confrontation to win this meeting. So there should be a rather spectacular football match on Sunday - we recommend betting on the fact that “total over 2.0 goals scored” will be recorded here.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
