Espanyol vs Gijon Prediction & Betting Tips (5 May)

The Stage Front Stadium will be the scene of the match between RCD Espanyol and Real Sporting de Gijón, in a duel corresponding to matchday 38 of LaLiga Hypermotion. In this confrontation, which historically favors the parakeets, two teams with slightly different presents will face each other and will seek three very important points in the league competition. RCD Espanyol comes into this match after drawing 2-2 with Elche CF, in a duel in which neither managed to impose their football and get a positive result. For its part, Real Sporting de Gijón fell 0-3 in the last matchday with Villarreal CF "B", in a confrontation in which the hosts paid for the scoring success of the Villarreal team.

Currently, the Catalans are fourth in the LaLiga Hypermotion standings with 60 points, with 15 wins, 15 draws and 7 losses, while the Asturians are ninth with 55 points after 15 wins, 10 draws and 12 lost games. The history of the last 5 confrontations between both teams slightly favors RCD Espanyol with 2 wins and 2 draws, with one victory for Real Sporting de Gijón.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 12 top-flight fixtures involving Espanyol, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Gijon are concerned, as 11 of their previous 13 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
