Sporting Gijon vs Castellon Prediction and Betting Tips | October 14th 2024

Sporting Gijon will host Castellon at El Molinon on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 LaLiga 2 campaign. The home side endured a sluggish start to their season but seem to have found their feet in recent games as they sit seventh in the league table with 12 points from eight games.

They beat Eibar 3-1 in their last match, finding themselves a goal down in the opening 20 minutes of the game before Jonathan Dubasin and Gaspar Campos got on the scoresheet in either half to help Los Rojiblancos secure maximum points.

Meanwhile, Castellon have defied expectations in the Spanish second tier so far and are well on course to avoid the drop. They beat Eldense 3-2 last time out, with summer arrival Kenneth Obinna scoring a brace to open his account for the club before Jesus de Miguel netted the game-winner minutes before the break.

The visitors sit a place and a point above their midweek opponents in the league standings and will be looking to widen that gap on Monday.
