Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 78% chance of S.Gijon and Malaga no more than 3 goals combined during this La Liga 2 game according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the win draw win market, we think that's where the smart money should go.

Goal Statistics

Sporting de Gijon's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Malaga have conceded in each of their last 9 La Liga 2 matches. A PG of 1.5 for B. Jiménez Sáez's side suggests that run should continue.

With a PG of just 0.9, Malaga look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Sporting de Gijon have kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive La Liga 2 games, and it could be a long afternoon for S. Pellicer García's men.
