Sporting Gijon vs Cordoba
Spain – Segunda Division
Date: Friday, 26th October 2018
Kick-off at 20.00 UK/ 21.00 CET
Venue: Estadio El Molinon, Gijon.
Ten rounds after the start to the Segunda division, Sporting Gijon finds themselves in the mid-table at the tenth position with 13 points while Cordoba has dug themselves deep into relegation zone with just seven points from ten matches.
Sporting Gijon was a usual presence in the La Liga but a string of bad performances led them into the lower league. Ever since then they have been trying to claw their way back into the top tier.
13 points from ten matches so far is not really bad, but it is not really good either. Expect Sporting Gijon to make amends for that against minnows Cordoba.
Allen Hallilovic was really an inspiring presence in midst of the Gijon defence. But once he left for AC Milan, the home side has struggled for creativity and leadership.
The hosts are really dangerous at their home. Their home records speaks itself for this fact. They are currently on a run of eight unbeaten matches at home and has just two losses in their last 21 home matches.
Sporting Gijon has scored for every single one of this 21 matches but for one. Cordoba will find it hard to keep their nets safe for a long period of time.
Against this struggling visitors, it is expected that the team from Gijon wins in style.
