Racing Santander vs Gijon Prediction & Betting Tips (1 April)

Racing Santander, as a whole, is having an incredible campaign towards promotion to La Liga, which it has been waiting for for many years now. Indeed, Racing has not played in the elite since the 2011-12 season. Leader of the ranking, Santander, however, lost its two previous league matches against Albacete at home 0-4 and against Zaragoza last weekend 2-0, two teams fairly poorly ranked and without scoring a single goal. Clearly, the local club wasted two jokers especially as it remained on four victories in a row in the league against Cultural Leonesa 1-2, Cordoba 4-3, Castellon 1-3 and Burgos 1-0. For its part, Sporting Gijon is 10th with 46 points, only 5 small lengths behind the top 6, today occupied by Castellon with 51 points.

The end of the season promises to be breathtaking for Gijon who, however, have not managed to win on the road for four matches, including three losses at Eibar 1-0, FC Andorra 1-0 and by the same score at Las Palmas 1-0. Last weekend, for the reception of the well ranked Deportivo La Coruña, Gijon collected an excellent point from the 1-1 draw although the equalizer in the last ten minutes of regulation time may cause some regrets for Sporting. If we take a broader point of view, the Rojiblancos have only won 3 of their last 10 matches for a total of 3 defeats and 4 draws. 

Excluded against Albacete, the talented Peio Canales (21 years old, 4 goals, 7 assists) has served his suspension and will be eligible again, but only upon his return from selection since he was called up with the hopes of La Roja. Midfielder Puerta (3 goals in Liga2) was called up by the Colombian coach and knowing that he played Sunday evening with the Tri against the France team, he might not be in shape to play today. Jorge Salinas (7 assists in Liga2) was called up to play with the Spanish U19s. Ditto for replacement goalkeeper Simon Eriksson, who left to play with the Swedish U19s while Georgian international Giorgi Guliashvili (2 goals, 1 assist in 9 appearances in Liga2) will apparently remain unavailable today. Injured, Arana (13 goals at the club last season in D2), Manex Lozano (2 goals, 1 goal in 4 appearances this season in the league), Alvaro Mantilla (1 goal, 2 assists in the league) and central defender Pablo Ramon (on loan from Espanyol Barcelona) are all expected to forfeit today. Installed in 2nd place in the league scorers ranking with a total of 17 goals, Andres Martin is available today in the same way as Asier Villalibre (10 goals).

As a reminder, excellent in the first part of the season, Ecuadorian international Jeremy Arevalo (8 pawns in the league) was transferred to Stuttgart this winter. Opposite, the Gijon coach will have to compose his group without the injured Andres Cuenca (18 years old, on loan from FC Barcelona B), the Uruguayan striker Andres Ferrari (on loan from Saint-Trond, Belgium, author of 2 goals in 7 appearances in Liga2), Mamadou Loum (long absent) and Nacho Martin (midfielder). On the other hand, having passed through OM, Strasbourg or even Hamburg, the French defender Lucas Perrin will be at the disposal of his coach, like scorer Juan Otero (11 goals, 10 assists in Liga2 this season), Belgian J.Dubasin (12 goals, 3 assists in the league), captain Campos (3 goals, 1 assist) and attacking midfielder Cesar Pina (7 goals, 3 assists). in the championship).
