Villarreal vs Gijon: Preview and Predictions

Villarreal vs Sporting Gijon
Spanish La Liga
Date: Friday, 28th April 2017
Kick off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Estadio de la Ceramica.

Sporting Gijon will have a very difficult task to find the salvation points in the visit to Estadio de la Ceramica against an in-form side of Villarreal.

The visitors come in the game being three points in the danger area and they are desperate to make an upset and pick up a positive result against the favourites.

Villarreal

The Yellow Submarine finally managed to find the right shape as they managed to claim four victories in the last five league outings.

The team led by Fran Escriba came on a five-point distance from the fourth-placed Sevilla after an away victory over Atletico Madrid at Estadio Vicente Calderon in mid-week.

Sporting Gijon

The story is completely opposite with Gijon who are winless in last six league fixtures.

Getting out of the danger zone will require a serious turnaround in form, but the good news for the new manager Joan Rubi and his men is definitely an easy schedule after the visit to Estadio de la Ceramica.

Villarreal vs Sporting Gijon: Head to head

Villarreal have ten wins from 16 head to head meetings with Sporting Gijon.

The Yellow Submarine came out victorious from this season’s clash with Gijon back in mid-December last year when they scored three goals at Estadio Municipal El Molinon.

Villarreal vs Sporting Gijon: Prediction

The Yellow Submarine are heavy favourites to maintain the impressive run and pick up the third straight win on the home pitch.

The visitors showed plenty of holes at the back in the recent period and we’d be very surprised to see Villarreal failing to find the net at least twice on Friday evening.
