Gijon vs Cordoba Prediction & Betting Tips (18 August)

Sporting Gijon begins its ninth season in the 2nd division and will try to start this new campaign as it finished the previous one, with victory. Gijon is a club that is aimed at a return to liga but each season looks alike, endless disappointments. The fact remains that the preparation was consistent and complete for the Rojiblancos who won five of their seven pre-season games. However, note that against the most tough opponent Racing Santander it was a 2-0 defeat. There is also a draw against Ponferradina 0-0.

 Opposite, we find Cordoba, 14th in the championship last season and who will try to obtain an evolution by finishing in the top 10. Unlike Gijon who won a good number of preparation matches, Cordoba won only one, faced with the Moroccan training of Tangier 2-1. No less than 3 defeats to report against Bétis Seville 3-4 and its reserve team 0-1 and against the Qataris of Al Arabi 0-3. Finally, against a formation of the same Cadiz level, the Blanquiverdes hung a 1-1 draw. 

After 5 seasons at the club, Victor Bonilla (5 goals, 2 assists last season) does not seem to have obtained an extension of contract. The middle Nacho Mendez (holder last season) has engaged free on the Johor DT. Still under contract, boys like Juan Otero (12 goals), Dubasin (8 goals, 9 assists), Cesar Gelabert (6 goals, 2 assists) and Gaspar Campos (4 achievements, 4 assists) are still at the club. The last city could miss this championship opening following his absence during the last preparation matches.  Opposite, at Cordoba, a terrible loss is to be reported with the departure of the top scorer in the league of the past season: Antonio Casas Marin (10 goals) left for Venezia.

Already injured at the end of last season, Adilson Mendes-Martins could miss the start of the adventure today. Passed by young people from Chelsea or Tottenham, Jude Soonsup-Bell has not been preserved. Ditto for the central defender loaned by Real Madrid Marvel, now transferred definitively to Leganes. Within the more or less important arrivals, we think of Sergi Guardiola, in search of recovery after a halftone season at the Rayo Vallecano.
