Sporting Gijon have only tasted defeat once in their last five LaLiga fixtures but unfortunately for manager Rubi and his players, their results over the rest of the long season couldn’t match their late positive rally.

Sporting Gijon vs Real Betis Prediction and Betting Advice

The first thing to spell out in our Sporting Gijon vs Real Betis tips is that neither of these teams have set the world alight this season in any shape or form. Betis players, in particular, will have checked out mentally for this one, with their thoughts set on summer holidays instead of the job at hand. Sporting Gijon may well see this as one last chance to give their fans something to cheer for on the biggest stage.

With Sporting’s players looking to give their fans a bittersweet send-off before their impending relegation, I think they will nick a victory against Real Betis.
