Celta Vigo and Sporting Gijon will take the field in the last match of the day in Primera Division, with both teams in need of points after some disappointing results lately.
Celta Vigo’s brilliant form has come to an abrupt end, as the hosts lost 3 out of the last 4 matches after starting the season with 5 wins and 3 draws in the first 8 games. What’s more, the last couple of defeats were extremely disappointing, with Celta playing horrible on the defensive end to lose 5-1 at home against Valencia and 2-0 against Deportivo La Coruna in the previous round. However, Celta is still 5th in Primera and has time to recover. They will surely aim to get back to winning ways in a seemingly accessible home game against Gijon.
Sporting Gijon (15th place) is on the back of a horrible 0-3 home loss against Levante, who was bottom of the table at the time of the match. It was a surprising result given the fact that Gijon was coming after two solid performances, a 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid and a 1-0 win over Malaga. The visitors are now only 2 points over the relegation zone and will be desperate to get a result at Estadio Balaidos.

Team news & lineups:
Jonny is suspended for Celta, while Fontas and Radoja are injured. Gijon can field the best lineup with the exception of Sergio Alvarez, who continues to be injured.
Celta Vigo: Alvarez – Mallo, Cabral, Gomez, Planas – Hernandez, Fernandez, Wass – Orellana, Nolito, Aspas
Sporting Gijon: Cuellar – Lora, Bernardo, Hernandez, Canella – Mascarell, Cases – Perez, Halilovic, Jony – Sanabria
I reckon the 1.40 odds provided for a Celta Vigo win are laughable, as the hosts are far from being worthy of trust – not the way they are playing right now. They meet a feisty, resilient team which will be desperate for points and in all likelyhood this will not be an easy game for the home side.
Gijon played pretty good football lately if we rule out the loss against Levante, which will drive them to do better today. Obviously Celta has the first chance, but it should be a relatively evenly matched clash and if it will be a home win, it will likely be very close.
My tip is Gijon to cover the 1,5 goal handicap, as I feel it is great to get so much room for error at such good odds. Both teams to score or over 2,5 goals could also be a good bet, but I am worried that Celta will choose a more cautious approach after allowing so many goals recently, while Gijon scored only 1 goal in the last three matches. Prediction: Celta Vigo – Sporting Gijon 2-1.
