Prediction Gijon vs Sabadell: 2-1
After a goalless draw with Mallorca in the Liga 2 derby, Sporting Gijón will seek to return to the winning path by hosting Sabadell at El Molinón stadium, on matchday 14. The Rojiblancos intend to end the three games without victories in the Second Division , and it looks like they won't have more chances than this to get back to normal. The good news for the visitors is that Pablo Pérez has returned to training after recovering from injury.
Midfielder Carmona also returned to the fray after serving his penalty against Mallorca. Sabadell desperately needed a win against Las Palmas, and they got one. The Catalans intend to escape the relegation zone, but due to their poor away record in La Liga 2, we are tempted to bet on the side of those looking for promotion.
