On January 26, at "Nuevo Los Cármenes," a match of the 24th round of the Spanish Segunda Division will take place, where Granada will play against Sporting Gijón. I suggest betting on goals, cards, or the winner for this match.
Granada
The team has even competed in the Europa League, reaching the playoffs. It has also played in La Liga more than once, including returning to the top tier in 2023. However, this time, things did not go well, and the "Nazaries" were prematurely relegated back to the Segunda.
Naturally, they do not want to remain stuck there. The appointment of a promising coach like Fran Escribá clearly reflects their ambition not to stagnate in the second division. However, things are not entirely smooth. While the number of wins still outweighs losses, their chances of making the top six—and thereby competing for the final promotion spot to La Liga—are diminishing due to setbacks. For instance, they lost 1-3 to Levante in the previous round.
Sporting Gijón
The club has long been prominent, though not a flagship. They have frequently managed to qualify for La Liga, but staying there for long has been a challenge. Currently, their absence from the top tier has stretched on—they last played in La Liga in 2017. There were good chances of returning after last season when the club climbed from 17th place to 5th in a surge. However, they faltered in the playoffs.
The new campaign started well. After a slow initial phase, they went on an impressive streak in the autumn, climbing into the group of leaders. But winter brought a decline, which has become a prolonged slump. The "Rojiblancos" were eliminated from the cup and have barely gained any points in the Segunda since mid-December. On the bright side, they secured a 1-1 draw against Elche in their latest match.
Match Facts
- Granada has not won in four consecutive matches.
- 65% of Granada’s games have ended with goals from both teams, and the average total goals per match is 2.87.
- Sporting Gijón has lost only one of their last four matches.
H2H
In the 2022/2023 season, the sides exchanged wins. Meeting again in November, the "Rojiblancos" lost 1-2 at home.
Granada vs Sporting Gijón Prediction
Bookmakers favor the "Nazaries" as they are playing at home. However, given their poor form, it’s worth betting on the visitors not to lose (odds – 1.64).
