Sporting Gijon and Albacete clash in Spain's Segunda Division this evening

There's half a chance Sporting Gijon and Albacete will put on a show in Spain today, reckons Tobias Gourlay

  • Sporting have scored seven in three at El Molinon
  • Albacete have netted on 5/6 road trips

In Spain last night, Real Madrid thrashed Celtic 5-1 and Vinicius got his goal to bring home a nice 3.814/5 winner.

We're staying in Spain today for one of this evening's three games from the second-tier Segunda Division. Eleventh-placed Sporting Gijon are hosting ninth-placed Albacete and we're more hopeful than the markets of seeing a few goals.

Sporting are W5-D1-L2 on their own patch this term, but they've only managed a couple of clean sheets. At the other end, Abelardo's men have scored at least twice themselves in each of their last three appearances at El Molinon. Over 2.5 Goals has landed in 4/8.

Albacete are W3-D2-L1 on the road. Only second-placed Alaves have stopped them from scoring. But the Mechanical Cheese (really) have only managed a single clean sheet themselves. Over 2.5 Goals has been the right bet in 4/6 and - at a plump odds-against price - it's the bet we're making on this one.
