Villarreal vs Sporting Gijon Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Villarreal should make home advantage count against struggling Sporting
Villarreal boast one of the meanest defences in LaLiga, which isn’t a good stat to read for a Sporting side that are desperately battling against relegation at the moment.
Match Preview
Fran Escriba’s men have been putting together some important results of late, as they push for European football, scraping late wins against both Leganes and Atletico Madrid.
- - Villarreal 3-1 Athletic Bilbao
- - Alaves 2-1 Villarreal
- - Villarreal 2-1 Leganes
- - Atletico 0-1 Villarreal
Cedric Bakambu has been an important figure for the home side of late, but the battle for the Europa League is far from over. The Yellow Submarine need to keep finding three points.
Sporting have drawn their last two league games, but solitary points are not enough to help them achieve their ambitious aim of clambering out of the bottom three.
- - Real Sociedad 3-1 Sporting
- - Sporting 2-3 Real Madrid
- - Osasuna 2-2 Sporting
- - Sporting 1-1 Espanyol
Villarreal vs Sporting Prediction and Betting Advice
The hosts are missing both first-choice defenders Mateo Musacchio and Jaume Costa, but they should have adequate cover to compensate.
Sporting will need the likes of Duje Cop, Burgui and Victor to be on form to stand any chance of pulling off an upset, but Villarreal’s home form just appears too strong.
