Sporting Gijon vs Levante Prediction and Betting Tips

Sporting Gijon will host Levante at El Molinon on Friday (January 6) in the Segunda Division.

The hosts have endured a difficult league campaign, finding themselves in the bottom half of the standings. Gijon lost 1-0 to Real Oviedo in their last game but bounced back to kick off 2023 on a positive note with a 2-0 win over Rayo Vallecano in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday. Gijon are 13th in the standings with 27 points from 21 games.

Levante, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong season and will fancy themselves as promotion contenders as they head into the second half of the season. They played out a goalless draw against second-placed Eibar in their last Segunda Division game. Levante will be gutted not to have come away with all three points after a dominant display.

The visitors are third in the league table with 36 points.

Sporting Gijon vs Levante Prediction

Gijon are on a run of back-to-back wins after winning just one of their six games. They are, however, winless in their last four home league outings and could struggle again.

Levante, meanwhile, are on a brilliant 15-game unbeaten run dating back to mid-October. They have lost just one away game this season and should come out on top here.
