Sporting de Gijon welcome the visitors Deportivo de La Coruna in the Spanish La Liga 2 – Round 23. The match will be held on Sunday, January 27th, at the Estadio El Molinon (Gijon).
Sporting de Gijon’s no-win streak broke – in the last round they won Alcorcon. Within the comforts of home surroundings, the team play well – over the span of eleven rounds, they suffered only one loss and just seven missed goals. On their travels, however, they were victorious just once. As a result, they take the eleventh tier in the standings. The players to watch are Jean-Sylvial Babin, who plays safe in defense, and the lately confident in the attacks Uros Durdevic, who has netted in the first minute of the last-round match. The team struggle in the middle third – Carlos Carmona, who used to play great by the mid of the first term and scored six goals over that period, has receded lately. Generally, the current-formed hosts are not capable of winning Deportivo de La Coruna sitting in the La Liga 2 top-three. One point gained tomorrow would be a positive outcome.

The visitors tasted no win in three consecutive matches, but it finally happened – Deportivo featured their first victory in the new year. It will get better later. The team occupy the third place in the table, their breakaway from the leaders is five points, so they will certainly look to catch up with Granada and take the first line. For this, Deportivo need to win in outings as well. They surpass many La Liga 2 contenders, including the tomorrow’s hosts, in their performance in the attacking third. Borja Gonzalez Tomas and Carlos Fernandez are by all means good – they netted seventeen goals at halves – but look at the latest outstanding play by Borja Valle! He scored to Zaragoza, Numancia, and Albacete in the previous encounter. So, the guests’ chances for a win are solid.
Thus, the analysis and the comparison of the two sides bring us to the conclusion that Deportivo are more likely to succeed. They failed to net in the three latest outings, and they feature no win in six away rounds indeed. Note, however, that they gained a victory in the last round, which provided a certain morale boosting; their form is great ahead of the kick-off; and the matchups’ record reads their three wins against Sporting in all competitions. The hosts produced under 2.5 goals in four latest home head-to-heads versus Deportivo.
Prediction for the match: Deportivo de Le Coruna to win or Draw & Under 3.5 goals.
