Sporting Gijon vs Celta Vigo Betting Tips & Predictions

Sporting Gijon have competed pretty well on a small budget in their first year back in La Liga for some time. However they are in trouble in 18th place with just 7 games to go. They come into this game having picked up 4 points from their last 2 matches though to really drag themselves back towards the teams above them. They stunned 2nd placed Atletico Madrid 2-1 in their last home game and will be hoping for a repeat performance here up against another top 6 side in the shape of Celta Vigo. Depending on other results, Sporting could move outside of the relegation zone if they can pick up the win here.

Celta Vigo make the relatively short trip to Gijon in pretty good form having taken 7 points from their last 3 games. They could only draw at home to Deportivo last time out in the Galician derby but got the better of Valencia and Real Sociedad in their previous 2 matches. Their only league defeats since January have come against Barcelona and Real Madrid and although they were both heavy losses they have quickly picked themselves up after them. Celta are in 5th place and with the teams around all trying to juggle European football with their domestic campaigns, they have a pretty good chance of staying there and certainly look destined for the Europa League next season.

This has the potential to be a good game. Sporting will be targeting their home games as potential wins between now and the end of the season and they will certainly go looking for all 3 points here. Both teams have scored in 9 of their last 10 home matches and Celta are a naturally attacking side who score and concede plenty so consider backing there to be over 2.5 goals at 19/20.
