Sporting Gijon vs Eibar: La Liga 2 Preview, Head-to-Head, and Prediction
Sporting Gijon will host Eibar at El Molinon on Sunday as part of the 2025-26 Spanish La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have experienced a rough patch in recent outings after a strong showing in October, currently sitting in ninth place with 19 points from 13 matches.
Their last match saw them suffer a 2-1 away defeat to a struggling Mirandes side. Sporting Gijon went into the break a goal up following a penalty kick from Jonathan Dubasin, but their opponents staged a second-half comeback to snatch all three points.
Meanwhile, Eibar have endured a slow start to their season and are under pressure to improve significantly if they want to avoid missing out on the promotion playoffs for a second consecutive season. They returned to winning ways last weekend with a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Albacete. Javier Marton and Jose Corpas were on the scoresheet, with Marton netting a brace.
Currently, Eibar sit 13th in the table, just two points above the drop zone. They will be keen to widen that gap by securing maximum points on the road this weekend.
