Sporting Gijon
- Sporting Gijon are 3rd in LaLiga 2 2026/2027 with seven points from three games after a strong start.
- A 1-0 home win over Burgos CF last time out, on the back of a 1-0 away win at Tenerife, shows that they are grinding out the results.
Girona
- Girona are 9th with four points from their opening three fixtures.
- Girona FC have had a mixed start, winning one, drawing one and losing one of their first three matches in the league.
- The Blanquivermells did bounce back from a 1-1 home draw with Leganes with a 5-2 win over Las Palmas at their place last weekend, but their position of 9th in the table suggests they are slightly off the pace.
Key Players
- Sporting Gijon
- Alejo Sarco is Sporting's main goal threat with one in three appearances so far and that makes him their go-to guy in the attacking third.
- Girona
- Yaser Asprilla has hit three goals in three games, so he looks the biggest threat to Sporting's clean sheet record.
Betting Insights
- This is likely to be a closely fought game with Girona coming into it as slight favourites at 2.35, but Sporting are not far behind at 2.75 and the draw is worth a look at 3.2.
- Larcamon's side have been compact and ruthless on the counter and have that extra edge of having kept two clean sheets from their two home fixtures in the second division so far.
- But Sporting's home defending should be good enough to keep Girona at arm's length and the visitors' away form is such that under 2.5 goals at 1.87 looks a decent option in the totals market.
- Girona are averaging exactly one goal per game on the road in 2026/2027, but that one strike wasn't enough to see them through against Cordoba a month ago.
- Backing under 2.5 goals should cover a situation where Sporting's direct style exposes Girona's build-up structure and forces a cagey battle on them, particularly if the home side win the first battles.
Prediction
Sporting Gijon to edge a cagey match.
