Sporting Gijon
- Sporting Gijon have won two and lost three of their last five matches, defeating CD Mirandes 3-0 at home and losing to Eibar 1-0 away.
- Sporting Gijon are odds-on favorites to beat SD Huesca at Estadio El Molinón on Sunday, but a visit from the Spanish Second Division’s meanest defensive unit is likely to be a tough test for the hosts.
- 9th placed Sporting have collected 36 points after 24 games, nine more than Huesca in 18th.
- The team will press high, they’ll flood forward in numbers and they’ll set flexible, aggressive shapes in front of the opposition goal.
SD Huesca
- The visitors, who are managed by Jon Pérez ‘Bolo’, operate to a completely different blueprint.
- Since he took over in November 2025, Huesca have been much more defensive in nature, set up in compact lines and play disciplined, pragmatic soccer.
- They will seek to frustrate their opponents and hit them on the counterattack when the opportunity presents itself.
Head-to-Head
Sides have split the last 10 meetings.
Key Players
- Sporting’s talisman is Jonathan Dubasin, who has 11 goals in 20 LaLiga 2 appearances this season, but young Juan Otero has been in equally hot scoring form for the club, bagging four of their last 10 goals across the previous five.
- Enol Rodriguez is Huesca’s most prolific striker, but he’s only found the net four times in 19 league appearances this term.
Betting Insights
A tight contest is expected as both sides look for a crucial result to boost promotion and stability aspirations, but we like the Under 2.5 goals bet at 1.57 , as Sporting are very strong at home and Huesca are very defensive on the road.
Prediction
The hosts will have to be patient and may have to score twice to win this one, so we’re going with a draw ( 3.25 ) as Sporting haven’t quite got into the groove and Huesca have failed to win on their last two visits here.
