Sporting Gijon v Malaga Predictions

The odds show no favourites, but they don't seem to take into account the recent form of both teams. Sporting Gijon are traditionally underrated, and this could be the right moment to use that. Malaga are still winless in 15 away fixtures, and it seems rather unlikely that they will change that unfortunate record at Sporting Gijon.

With the odds so generous, it is quite tempting to bet on Sporting Gijon at 2.62. Taking into account Malaga's desperate away record, it is even safer to take the Draw No Bet on Sporting Gijon at 1.83. You will get your money back if Malaga manage to take a point.
