Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Sporting Gijón are currently on a four-match unbeaten streak. They have found their rhythm, impacting their position in the league standings as the team now sit in the playoff zone for promotion. They now face Elche, who have managed to find their form after a disastrous start.
Elche
Elche's main issue is a lack of consistency. The team play inconsistently in attack and defence: they might thrash Málaga (3:0) one week and then lose to Racing de Ferrol (1:0) the next. In the last round, Elche managed just one shot on target against Deportivo La Coruña, resulting in a goalless draw.
Sporting Gijón
The visitors have begun consistently earning points thanks to a strong attacking performance. They have won their last three matches with a combined score of 6:2. Notably, in the last round, they defeated Castellón (2:1) at home, with Castellón managing just one shot on target against Sporting.
Elche vs Sporting Gijón Prediction
In their last head-to-head match at Elche's home ground, the hosts won (2:1). We now expect the trend of high-scoring games to continue. Sporting Gijón should find the net, while the hosts are likely to create a few chances of their own.
