Sporting Gijon vs Real Sociedad Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Real Sociedad come into this match in really good form having won all of their last 3 league games and 5 of the last 7. That includes an excellent 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid last time out and they are looking pretty good at both ends of the pitch right now. They’ve scored twice or more in all of those 3 recent wins without conceding a single goal so they will head to Asturias full of confidence.

The addition of powerful forward Willian Jose has made a big difference to their attacking threat. He’s netted in all of those 3 wins and has bagged 6 goals in La Liga already this term. With Sporting Gijon often vulnerable at the back, he should get chances to add to that here and you can back Willian Jose to score anytime at 21/10 in this one, which looks to offer great value.

If things look to be heading in the right direction for the Basques, the same can’t be said about Sporting Gijon. They made a good start to the season with 7 points from their opening 3 games to defy pre-season relegation fears. However, since then they’ve looked every bit a team that could be heading for the drop with only 2 points from their last 8 fixtures. They’ve been conceding exactly 2 goals per game on average and that figure is the same at home as it is away, so there is plenty of evidence to suggest there should be goals in this for the visitors.

Sporting Gijon only kept 4 home clean sheets last term and have sold their best defender since, which has contributed to them failing to keep a clean sheet at El Molinon this season. With Real Sociedad looking impressive right now and posing a real threat in the final third, backing Real Sociedad Over 1.5 Team Goals at 11/8 looks a good bet here.
