Gijon vs Albacete Prediction & Betting Tips (1 March)

Sporting Gijon will be keen to win this modest Albacete team which they won in the first leg 1-3 to once again enter the Top 6 of the championship giving access to the final stages of the championship 1/2 finals at the end of this regular season. Miguel Angel Ramirez's squad has not been performing well since the end of January since the latter suffered 3 defeats in the last 5 days against Ferrol 1-2, Zaragoza 3-0 and Burgos CF 1-0 on February 25. . The partners of Gaspar Campos 9 goals, defeated only once at home this season, took 4 points in their last two receptions against Oviedo 1-0 and against Valladolid 1-1. Gijon should pocket three new points against the 17th. Albacete has left the red zone for two days but its 1 point lead over Villarreal B is too fragile! Alberto Quiles' teammates 4 goals could plunge back into the red zone in the event of a defeat this weekend.

Albacete is on a great unbeaten run of 4 matches 1 win and 3 draws against Cartagena 1-1, Valladolid 0-0, Racing Santander 2-0 and Amorebieta 1-1 last weekend. Unable to achieve an away success since October 3, i.e. for almost 5 months 5 draws and 6 defeats, Albacete could return empty-handed from their trip to Gijon this Friday.

It would be fair to say that Gijon have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 12 LaLiga2 matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 12 Albacete away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
