Football – Spain – La Liga Betting Tips

After a sequence of ten La Liga matches without a win, Valencia have a great chance of breaking this miserable run of form when they play host to Sporting Gijon at their Estadio de Mestalla on Sunday afternoon.

Valencia now occupy a disappointing mid-table position as a result of their drop in form, and they know that another defeat (perhaps even a draw) today, could heap further pressure on manager Gary Neville who is cutting his vastly inexperienced teeth in one of the biggest leagues in the world in his first managerial position.

Valencia’s overall home record now stands at  3-7-0  16/9 and they have become La Liga’s draw specialists having drawn their last five home matches on the trot – a draw today will not be enough.

Second from bottom Sporting Gijon will head into today’s match away at Valencia with cause for some confidence following their emphatic 5-1 home win over Real Sociedad last weekend which ended a run of five La Liga defeats on the trot.

Losses to Sevilla, Eibar, Getafe, Villarreal and Real Madrid have been bad enough but when you consider they conceded 13 goals and scored just 2 in reply, it’ll be interesting to see how they fare at Valencia who are lacking confidence right now.

Sporting Gijon’s away record though stands at  2-1-8  8/22 and they’ve lost their last seven matches on the trot which is not a good sign for them even though they won their last match in convincing style.
