Sporting Gijon vs Albacete Prediction and Betting Tips | March 23rd 2025

Sporting Gijon will host Albacete at the El Molinon on Sunday in the 32nd round of the 2024-25 Segunda Division campaign. The hosts will be looking to get back to winning ways and push back up the table after a disappointing few months.

Sporting picked up a fourth consecutive 1-1 draw in the league against Cordoba last weekend and are now only six points clear of the relegation zone. Their last outing also marked their sixth consecutive draw, so the hosts have managed just one win in their last 14 league games, a poor run of form that has seen them drop rapidly in the league standings.

Albacete managed to hold on to their 2-0 lead against Malaga last time out despite going two men down in the first 30 minutes. The visitors, who have only won 10 of their 31 league outings, are a point behind Sunday's hosts, having been inconsistent all season and will be keen to get results in the final weeks of the season to ensure survival.

The sides are closely matched going into the weekend but the Rojiblancos will receive a slight boost from their home advantage, having gotten seven of their nine league wins this season at home. The hosts’ recent struggles to get all three points is, however, unlikely to end this weekend.

Albacete will need to improve on their poor record away from home to get a result this weekend but will be keen to take advantage of their hosts' winless streak.
