Real Zaragoza
- Real Zaragoza have won just 4 of their 19 home matches in LaLiga 2 this season (D6, L9).
- Real Zaragoza have found some stability under David Navarro, who took over at the helm in March 2026, but he has no room for error as he tries to pull off a miracle survival for Los Blanquillos.
- Real Zaragoza have won none, drawn one and lost four of their last five games with their three most recent results coming in the shape of defeats to SD Huesca, Granada and Real Valladolid.
- Los Blanquillos have scored once and conceded five in those three games and look unlikely to get a positive result at home where they have failed to win in two games since the change in head coach.
Sporting Gijon
- Sporting Gijon have lost their last 3 games, including defeats to Cordoba and Malaga away.
- Sporting Gijon have won 5 of their 19 away matches in LaLiga 2 2025-26 (D1, L13).
- Borja Jimenez’s men, who took over in October 2025, have played an aggressive, high-intensity style of football that includes an energetic high press, quick transitions and overloads in wide areas to try to disorientate opponents and exploit gaps in their defensive lines.
- And if they are unable to unlock Los Blanquillos in the first half, Sporting will find it hard to resist the counter attacks of Daniel Gomez - Zaragoza’s top scorer with 9 goals in 30 games in the second division.
- Sporting Gijon can call upon their own prolific marksman in Jonathan Dubasin, who leads their scoring charts with 16 goals in 35 appearances and has bagged three in his last five appearances.
Key Players
- Daniel Gomez - Zaragoza’s top scorer with 9 goals in 30 games in the second division.
- Jonathan Dubasin - leads Sporting’s scoring charts with 16 goals in 35 appearances and has bagged three in his last five appearances.
Betting Insights
- With Zaragoza having scored only 17 goals in 19 home games in the LaLiga 2 this season and Sporting having averaged 1.05 goals per game on the road (averaging 1.58 goals conceded), we believe the odds for an away win (4.12) are very generous given the respective positions in the league table and their superior recent record in this match-up.
- Both teams have struggled to score recently and one will probably be kept out, so we’re also taking under 2.5 goals (2.04) and both teams not to score (2.05).
Prediction
- Chess game likely between two struggling teams.
- Sporting Gijon can nick it.
