Sevilla v Sporting Gijón match preview, betting advice and expert betting tips. Sevilla too strong for relegation-threatened Sporting Gijón.
Match Preview – 11:00 Kick-Off at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, Seville
With just 3 wins in their last 24 games in all competitions, Sporting Gijón are in real danger of being relegated from La Liga. Currently, in 18th position, only Granada and Osasuna have conceded more goals than them. Before the international break, Sporting Gijón recorded a huge 3-1 victory over relegation rivals Granada, but a trip to 3rd placed Sevilla isn’t the ideal fixture for a team looking to build some momentum.
Without a win in 4 games, Sevilla are hanging onto 3rd position by the skin of their teeth. They have the worst defensive record in La Liga’s top 5 and will need to shore things up at the back to ensure they finish ahead of Atlético Madrid, the side who beat Sevilla 3-1 last time out. With a tough looking game on the horizon next Wednesday at Barcelona, winning 3 points at home to Sporting Gijón becomes even more vital.
Sporting held Sevilla to a 1-1 draw when the sides met at the end of October, but a repeat of that score is unlikely on Sunday even with Stevan Jovetic, Gabriel Mercado and Adil Rami all likely to be missing for Sevilla through injury.

Sevilla v Sporting Gijón Predictions
Sevilla go into this fixture as strong favourites and with good reason. With Champions League distractions now a thing of the past following their exit to Leicester City, Sevilla can concentrate fully on finishing a more than a respectable 3rd spot in La Liga. Sporting Gijón will need a heroic performance to avoid defeat. Home win. Read our detailed Sevilla v Sporting Gijón betting tips below.
Fresh from his goalscoring exploits for Spain during the international break, Vitolo will be bouncing into Sunday’s game. William Hill have odds of 11/2 for Vitolo to score anytime and Sevilla to win, which is a lovely price and much better than any Sevilla odds for an outright victory. Bookies give Sporting Gijon odds of 8/1 or more to win, but don’t waste your time dreaming of a big win off a small outlay. Bet365 have odds of 5/6 for Sevilla to be winning at halftime and fulltime which also looks like a solid pick.
