Our Predictions
Gijon’s strong home record (12W, 7D, 1L) suggests a home win, especially with odds of 1.25. Goals have been scarce lately, with many recent matches ending 0-0 or 1-0. Both teams’ recent head-to-heads show a lack of goals, making this a sensible, safe pick—favoring a low-scoring, tight game.
Given the recent history of goalless encounters and Gijon’s defensive solidity at home, both teams not scoring is likely. Goals have been rare for Cartagena on the road. Under 2.5 goals fits the pattern of cautious, low-risk football, making this a strong prediction.
Combining the home win with no goals and an under 2.5 goals scenario is consistent with recent trends—Gijon’s ability to grind out clean sheets and Cartagena’s struggle to score away. It’s a cautious, yet plausible outcome, likely to appeal to risk-averse punters.
