Gijon vs Racing Santander Prediction & Betting Tips (12 October)

Sporting Gijón and Racing Santander meet on October 12, 2025, in a LaLiga2 clash at El Molinón, with both sides bringing contrasting momentum and firepower into the fixture.

Sporting Gijón, currently sitting mid-table, have shown flashes of promise under new coach Asier Garitano, who took charge in April. Juan Otero remains their most potent weapon, having netted 12 goals this season, while Guille Rosas adds grit to the backline despite collecting nine yellow cards. The team has struggled for consistency, with only two clean sheets in their last eight matches and a modest 42.3% average possession. Garitano’s tactical tweaks have yet to yield a dominant run, but the squad’s resilience at home could be a factor, especially with the backing of over 23,000 fans expected at El Molinón.



Racing Santander, on the other hand, are flying high in fourth place, boasting a sharper attack and more fluid midfield play. Andrés Martín is the standout performer, leading the league with 17 goals and 17 assists, supported by the creative spark of Iñigo Vicente and the finishing touch of Asier Villalibre. Coach José Alberto López, who has a strong record against Gijón, has instilled a high-pressing style that has delivered 21 goals in eight matches. Despite conceding 14 goals, their offensive efficiency and superior ball control (52.6% possession) make them a formidable opponent, especially on the counter.

While Racing Santander enter the match as statistical favorites, history suggests a tighter contest. Gijón have held their own in recent meetings, including a 1-1 draw last March. With home advantage and a renewed tactical approach, they could edge this one. Our prediction leans toward a 2-1 victory for Sporting Gijón, with Otero likely to find the net and Racing’s Martín keeping things tense until the final whistle.
