Sporting Gijon
- Sporting Gijon are still clinging onto the play-off race in 10th place in the LaLiga 2 table after collecting 49 points from 35 games, while Cadiz are sliding down the standings in 18th position with just 38 points.
- Sporting Gijon have won 9, drawn 6 and lost just 3 of their 18 home fixtures in LaLiga 2 this season.
- Borja Jimenez has done a great job with Sporting Gijon since taking charge in October 2025, using a combination of high intensity, proactive pressing and flexible tactics in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 hybrid.
- He gets his players to press in waves, but always looking to transition quickly and use their wide players to overload the flanks.
- Dubasin provides their spark and is the top scorer with 13 goals in 31 appearances, but it is his movement and clinical finish in the box that really creates the chances for others.
Cadiz
- Cadiz are sliding down the standings in 18th position with just 38 points.
- Cadiz are on a losing streak of five, without a point in any of their last 5 matches.
- Cadiz have gone in another direction entirely since Sergio Gonzalez was put in charge in March 2026.
- The yellow and blues will sit deep and counter-attack from their own half, trying to pinch a goal and hoping to not get too stretched at the back.
- Iuri Tabatadze has been their best outlet in attack, scoring 6 goals in 18 games this season, and will need to be their main outlet again on Sunday.
Head-to-Head
Cadiz won 3-2 when these two teams met at home in a LaLiga 2 game three months ago, but this fixture has been more a Sporting stronghold with Cadiz never having won away to the Asturian side.

Betting Insights
- Backing the home team at 1.57 is our tip here as Sporting should have too much for their visitors, who have lost both of their last two away games.
- Both Teams to Score - No (1.8) looks an even better bet, however, as Cadiz’s blunt attack will struggle to break down the hosts who are excellent at keeping the ball out of their net.
Prediction
Backing the home team at 1.57 is our tip here as Sporting should have too much for their visitors, who have lost both of their last two away games.
