Game: OSASUNA vs SPORTING GIJON
Type: Spanish La Liga
Date: 8 March, 2009
PREVIEW
This match has all the ingredients of an exciting match, considering that both teams are languishing near the bottom of the La Liga table. Osasuna have managed to haul themselves up to 18th after registering 12pts from a possible 18pts in their last 6 matches. Despite this, they are still 2pts behind their nearest rival, who coincidentally is Sporting.
Sporting hit a bad patch lately when they lost their last 4 matches. An interesting point to note is the fact that they have yet to draw in the league for the past 25 matches! Will this trend continue, or will this match be the one that finally sees that trend broken? One thing is for sure, goals will be free-flowing in this match as both can score as well as concede.
KWIK STATS
HOME > OSASUNA
AWAY > SPORTING GIJON
THE PICK
Could this be the match where SPORTING GIJON finally gets the first draw in the league? With a 3/4 ball headstart on asian handicap, i'd have to stick with the visitors as Osasuna averages only 1.43 goals per home game while conceding 1 goal in return. A small punt of the fixed odds draw might be worth a try too.
