Back the hosts to win and both teams to score at El Molinón
Sporting Gijon’s form has been erratic of late but they have won both of their last two games at home in their bid to secure a playoff spot and there’s a good chance that they will defeat AD Ceuta FC on Sunday. Our Sporting Gijon vs AD Ceuta FC prediction is that the hosts, currently 11th in the LaLiga 2 standings with 52 points from 37 games, will have the edge as they are one point ahead of 12th-placed Ceuta, who have 51. However, the visitors are solid and they could be a tough nut to crack for Sporting.
Borja Jimenez has got Sporting playing a very high tempo style of soccer in which they use the width of the field and look to play vertically and press the ball, especially out wide. That has worked at home, where they have won ten of their 19 games, and this Sporting Gijon vs AD Ceuta FC preview suggests it should be enough for them to get the better of Ceuta, who have won just three of their 19 matches on the road.
Jose Juan Romero’s side have been solid, pragmatic and sometimes frustratingly stubborn this season, drawing their last three consecutive matches. In line with our Sporting Gijon vs AD Ceuta FC prediction, they are well set up to frustrate their opponents and have been good at stifling their opponents’ play before unleashing a quick counter-attack.
A clash of styles in Sporting’s bid to boost promotion hopes
This fixture represents a clash of philosophies in which Sporting Gijon are the attacking force and Ceuta are a compact, structured side that are not going to be easy to break down. Marcos Fernandez is their main goal threat with 12 in 31 league appearances, while Jonathan Dubasin is Sporting’s top marksman with 15 in 33 outings, but he has three in his last five games and looks the best chance of anyone to break down Ceuta.
