Cádiz Aims for Positive Momentum at El Molinón
Can Submarines Sink Sporting Gijón to Ascend from the Depths?
Cádiz CF will be targeting a second successive victory when they travel to El Molinón to take on Sporting Gijón on Sunday afternoon in La Liga 2. Álvaro Cervera's side secured a morale-boosting 2-0 home win over Real Oviedo last weekend to move out of the relegation zone.
Cádiz are now 17th in the table, two points clear of the bottom three, and they will be hoping to build on their recent upturn in form against a Sporting Gijón side who are just one point and one place above them.
Cádiz's Recent Form Provides Cause for Optimism
Cádiz have won two of their last three matches in all competitions, including a 1-0 victory over FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey. They also drew 0-0 with league leaders UD Almería, showing that they are capable of competing with the best teams in the division.
Cervera will be hoping that his team can continue their good form at El Molinón, where they have won two of their last three visits.
Sporting Gijón Have Struggled for Consistency
Sporting Gijón have been in inconsistent form this season. They have won just four of their last 12 matches in all competitions and have lost their last two games, against CD Tenerife and SD Huesca.
Abelardo Fernández's side are also struggling for goals, having scored just 22 times in 23 league games this season. They will need to find their shooting boots if they are to get anything from this match.
Cádiz Will Be Confident of Victory
Cádiz will be confident of victory against Sporting Gijón. They have a good recent record against their opponents and are in better form at the moment.
However, Sporting Gijón will be determined to get back to winning ways in front of their own fans. This is likely to be a close match, but Cádiz will be the slight favorites.
Conclusion
Cádiz will be aiming to continue their recent good form when they travel to El Molinón to take on Sporting Gijón on Sunday afternoon. The Submarines will be confident of victory against a Sporting Gijón side who have been struggling for consistency this season.
