Gijon vs Albacete Prediction & Tips
Sporting Gijón periodically manages to get promoted to the Primera División. The last time was in 2015, but on that occasion they only managed to stay at elite level for two consecutive seasons. Having failed to stay there, since then the players have not been good enough to reach such heights again. Although attempts have been made, such as last season, when they finished fifth and advanced to the playoffs, but were unsuccessful there.
Now even that won’t be possible, it’s just a matter of finishing the season. The gap is too considerable, both from the relegation zone and from the top-6. It is remarkable that most of the matches ended in a draw, sharing points. In the last match against ‘Cordoba’, both teams scored one goal, ending 1-1.
Albacete has now reached an unpleasant milestone: they have not played in the Primera División for two full decades. The last time they were relegated was in 2005. Moreover, during this time they have fallen three times to the third division, fortunately, only once they did not manage to return immediately. In 2023 they even finished sixth and participated in the playoffs, albeit unsuccessfully. But last spring they finished only in thirteenth place.
They have not managed to improve, quite the contrary. It is good that, in the midst of many defeats, there are some victories that allow them not to sink into the relegation zone at least. On the last matchday they won 2-0 against ‘Malaga’.
