Eldense vs Gijon Prediction

Eldense have nothing left to play for on the final day, having already guaranteed an extended stay in the Spanish La Liga 2 despite being one of the newcomers in the league. Fernando Estevez's team had not competed in this tier in the preceding 59 years but did not show any jitters and will be aiming to end the season with a four-game unbeaten streak.

Gijon, for their part, still have an outside choice of making the playoff as they sit just two points behind sixth and fifth-placed Real Oviedo and Racing Santander with just one game left.

We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Eldense 1-1 Gijon
