Lugo v Sporting Gijon Betting Tips [8 December 2022]

Lugo host Sporting Gijon at the Estadio Anxo Carro for the nineteenth round of LaLiga2 action. Gijon are currently situated in thirteenth place at the standings while Lugo lie nineteenth and within the relegation zone. Lugo did claim an important win at the weekend however, defeating Racing Santander to arrest a six game winless run. Despite the win and the welcome clean sheet, Lugo need to start scoring more goals if they are to have any shot at survival. They average less than a goal per game, having managed to score just three times in their last seven encounters. With regards to their home form, it is another aspect of their performance that warrants improvement. Lugo have won just one of their last seven home matchups, scoring more than once in just one of them. They are also winless against Gijon in their last four encounters at the Anxo Carro. 

Sporting Gijon fell to defeat against leaders Las Palmas, continuing their recent miserable run of results. The visitors have now failed to win in normal time in each of their last eight games, failing to score in four of those. Draws look like their specialty in fact, with six of those eight encounters ending in a stalemate. Concerning their record on the road, Gijon have found wins hard to come by in recent games, having failed to take the three points in seven of their last eight. They have also scored just six times in their nine league away games this season. The upside is their recent record when visiting Lugo, with the visitors having avoided defeat in seven of their previous nine meetings.
