Sporting Gijon vs Sevilla Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

Sevilla come into this game in fantastic form following 5 straight wins in all competitions and they look good to pick up another victory here. The Jorge Sampaoli revolution is in full swing now and they’ve achieved two major results in the last two weeks. Their 3-2 win at Leganes a fortnight ago was their first away win in La Liga in over 12 months after they failed to win on the road in all of last season. It had clearly become a mental issue as much as anything and having finally got that monkey off their back, they should travel with a lot more self-belief, and this match offers them a good opportunity to really banish the away day blues.

They backed that up with a 1-0 home win over Atleti last weekend to briefly go top of La Liga and they are averaging 2.22 points per game so far this term which, if repeated over the season, would give them a great chance of securing a top four finish.

This looks to be a good time to be heading to Gijon too. Sporting have been really poor in recent weeks, collecting just 1 point from their last 6 games and that was against bottom club Granada. They’ve conceded 2.25 goals per game on average at home so far this term and with Sevilla looking good going forward on the whole and averaging 1.89 goals per game in La Liga, there should be at least of couple of goals in this for the visitors.

That might be enough to secure the three points. Sporting Gijon right now look like one of the worst three sides in this league and they have problems at both ends of the pitch. They’ve scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games and average just 0.78 goals per game overall, so you have to say that Sevilla are just stronger in every department and therefore backing Sevilla to Win at 19/20 looks like the value bet here.
