Sporting Gijon v Leganes
Saturday 17:30 (Live on LaLigaSportsTV)

In Spain last night, our boys Albacete had a man sent off after nine minutes, but were only 1-0 down until they had another man sent off around the hour mark. They went on to lose 4-0.

We're staying in Spain today for one of the four more games from the Segunda Division. It's a mid-table affair between 11th-placed Sporting Gijon and 12th-placed Leganes but we're hopeful it can get up and over 2.5 Goals.

Last time out at El Molinon, Sporting drew 2-2 with another mid-table outfit (Albacete). The hosts have now scored at least twice in four straight games there, and 6/9 since the start of the season. With Sporting managing only a couple of home clean sheets all campaign, 5/9 have now delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total.

Leganes started the season with a run of 0-1 away defeats, but have turned things round a little since then. Imanol Idiakez's men have struck five times across their last three road trips, with 2/3 getting to Over 2.5 Goals. With a plump price on Over 2.5 Goals again this afternoon, we're taking a punt and staying high of the line.
