- Sporting Gijon have won two of their last three games and have won three of their five home games in LaLiga 2 so far this season.
- Real Zaragoza have lost three on the bounce and have not won any of their three previous visits to El Molinón.
- Jonathan Dubasin is Sporting Gijon’s top scorer in LaLiga 2 with five goals in ten games. He’s bagged four of them in his last five matches.
Sporting to win and both teams to score
Sporting Gijon are the clear favorites to beat 22nd-placed Real Zaragoza on Sunday and according to our Sporting Gijon vs Real Zaragoza prediction I’m backing the hosts to take the win at 1.9. The visitors are available at 4.0, which is a decent price, but with no draws registered in their last 5 games, they are either all on or all off at the moment. And with the draw priced at 3.4, I will take the odds-on offering of the home side.
Real Zaragoza have lost each of their last three fixtures, including a 5-0 home defeat to Cultural Leonesa and a 4-2 defeat to Almeria in their most recent away match. Emilio Larraz was recently appointed as head coach for the relegation-threatened club and it will be down to him to stabilize the leaky defense in the coming weeks. The Sporting Gijon vs Real Zaragoza preview highlights the immense pressure Zaragoza are under.
Jimenez’s men can make Zaragoza pay
Sporting Gijon have won their last two fixtures, beating Racing Santander 2-1 at home and Real Valladolid 3-2 away, but they are not a team with a rock-solid defence and can be susceptible on the counter attack. They sit 9th in LaLiga 2 with 15 points from 10 matches, but in this Sporting Gijon vs Real Zaragoza prediction they are in better shape than Zaragoza who are at the bottom of the table with just six points after as many games as Sporting Gijon.
Borja Jimenez took charge of Sporting in October 2025 and has immediately made his mark, making the team play a more proactive, high-intensity game with a high press and a willingness to play vertically. He has also been organised at the back, with Gijon looking dangerous from set-piece positions.
Juan Otero has been their creative spark this term with 7 assists in 10 league matches, and they have plenty of firepower up front with Jonathan Dubasin their most reliable goalscorer. Sporting have won 3 of their 5 LaLiga 2 home matches and have scored 10 goals at El Molinón.
Zaragoza are in transition towards a 4-4-2 system that will see them play with high-intensity and counter-press, but it will be a work in progress as they are rebuilding and Larraz will need time to get this right. This could be a tough matchup for the away side, with Sporting’s verticality and pressing likely to be too much for the unsettled backline, but with the teams having drawn twice in their last five head-to-head meetings and Zaragoza’s 5-0 hammering from two weekends ago still fresh in the memory, our Sporting Gijon vs Real Zaragoza betting tips also suggest Both Teams To Score at 1.85 seems like a good value bet. The Sporting Gijon vs Real Zaragoza prediction is that Sporting look set to capitalize on their current form and home advantage.
