Sporting hunt first win in Sunday 2pm slot
Sporting Gijon enter a 2pm Sunday fixture searching to end a run of 14 matches without a win: 9 losses and 5 draws, according to Sport.
The rojiblanca fans at Sporting Gijon believe the club’s Sunday 2pm kick-offs bring bad luck. And, as Sport points out, the feeling is backed up by numbers.
The key statistic
According to Sport, since LaLiga introduced that time slot, Sporting have played 14 matches on Sunday at 2pm. The record is nine defeats and five draws, with no wins so far.
Time to flip it
That makes the next game a straightforward chance to put an end to the trend. For the team, turning the page on a “curse” that has followed them in that specific window would be more than a talking point: it would mean breaking a negative pattern where results haven’t come.
At the moment, the only certainty is the history Sport highlights: 14 fixtures without victory—nine losses and five draws. Sporting’s job now is to change that by finding a way to win in the next match, regardless of whatever the schedule has meant up to now.
After all, the outcome will still come down to the basics: staying solid, making their chances count, and taking points when it matters.
