Sporting Gijon vs Almeria Prediction

Sporting Gijon have home advantage in their favor but their recent inconsistency means they go into this game as underdogs. This could work in their favor, although Almeria are unlikely to underate their hosts, given the quality available to them.

Home matches involving Gijon tend to be cagey affairs and that trend could be set to continue. The visitors have automatic promotion in their sights and we are backing them to secure maximum points with a narrow victory.

Prediction: Sporting Gijon 0-1 Almeria
