Sporting Gijon v Cartagena Betting Tips [11 December 2022]

There’s all to play for when Sporting Gijon hosts FC Cartagena in their next game in the Segunda Division in Spain. These two sides are separated by five points in the league standings; Cartagena in sixth place with 31 points and Gijon on 26 points, in 12th place. Sporting Gijon beat Lugo 1-0 away from home in their last game but that was their first win in eight league matches. They have two wins only in the last 10 league matches and they have failed to score in half of those 10 games. Seven of the 10 league games have produced under 2.5 goals and their home run isn’t much better, with the team coming into this game having failed to win any of the last three. Sporting Gijon have one clean sheet only in their last five home league matches but they have scored two or more in four of their last five league matches at home.

Cartagena will head into this game straight from a 1-0 home loss to Villarreal B, and hoping to bounce back after straight wins in the earlier two games. They have two wins in their last five matches, and two losses in that run. Cartagena have scored more than a goal in just one of their last five league matches but they’ve also conceded more than a goal in just one of the five league games. Both sides have scored in three of the five league matches while three of the five have ended in under 2.5 goals. Their run away from home in the league isn’t the best either, with Cartagena having posted just one win in the last five games in the league. They have two clean sheets in five away league matches and failed to score in two.

Both Sporting Gijon and Cartagena haven’t had great winning runs ahead of this game. And their matches have also had low-scoring returns. Cartagena aren’t doing so well away from home, and neither are Sporting Gijon at home. A draw thus looks like a good pick here.
