Sporting Gijon vs Granada Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2024

The Spanish Segunda Division returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Sporting Gijon play host to Granada at the Estadio El Molinón on Saturday. Ruben Albes’ men head into the weekend on a run of five consecutive home wins and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Sporting Gijon continued their surge to the top of the Segunda Division standings as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Burgos at the Estadio El Plantio last Sunday.

Albes’ side have gone five straight matches without defeat across all competitions, claiming one draw and four wins, including a 1-0 victory over Numancia in the Copa del Rey on October 30.

With 25 points from 14 matches, Gijon are currently second in the Segunda Division table, eight points behind league leaders Racing Santander.

Elsewhere, Granada returned to winning ways in the Segunda Division last time out when they edged out Eldense 3-2 at the Estadio Municipal Nuevo Los Carmenes.

Before that, Fran Escriba’s men were on a run of two straight losses in the league, suffering a 2-1 home defeat against Levante on October 27, one week before losing to Real Zaragoza by the same scoreline at the Estadio La Romareda.

Granada have picked up 22 points from their 14 Segunda Division games this season to sit fifth in the table, but could move into third place with a win on Saturday.
