Gijon – Alaves Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (05.02.2017)

First prognostic for the next day of the First Division. We go until the match that will face the Sporting and the Alaves. The fee will go down; I do not recommend entering below 2.

Sporting Gijón is eighteenth with 13 points. Right now he is 5 points from salvation, so he can not afford another defeat.
As local, takes a balance of 3 wins, 5 losses and 1 tie. Note that the last 7 games have only managed to win 1.

The Alavés is twelfth with 24 points. It is in a fairly quiet area; To 11 points of the zone of descent and to 10 points of the European positions. Obviously their goal is to stay in the top category and they are getting it. As a visitor has a balance of 4 losses, 3 wins and 3 draws. Note that they have not scored 3 matches.

Alavés will play the semi-final of the Copa del Rey on Thursday against Celta. It could perfectly well be planted at the end of this competition. With this objective will go with his titular team to try to get something positive out of the duel. Above, the match will be played in the Celta field, so the wear will be even higher in a fairly tough game seen what both teams play.
For “small” teams, playing a match of this type during the week usually takes a toll when playing the weekend league game. They will have only 3 days to rest, in contrast the Sporting, 7 days. This without taking into account the possible injuries that may be in the game (God does not want to).
I want to emphasize that the Alavés can afford to “disconnect” a little from the league and face the semifinal in the best possible way, since as I said earlier, they are in a quiet area of ​​the standings. They almost have all the work done to save themselves.

For its part, Sporting, is in a situation limit. He needs points and needs them now. In case of not adding the 3 points in this match could stay to 8 points of salvation. It would not be insurmountable but almost. The game will be played in the Molinón, in his stadium, with his fans, against a team that will come tired and with his head set on another competition. I do not think they have a better option to win.
In the previous game against Athletic Bilbao, Sporting played a good first half, reaching the break with a victory by the minimum. It is true that they ended up losing the game but at least there was intensity and manners (especially in the first part).

Of the last 3 games played between them, Sporting has won 2 times (Sporting as local).

To end the prognosis, I leave the words of the Sporting de Gijón player, Borja Viguera:
“The season is not over in these next two matches, but we play a lot” referring to the match against Alaves and against Leganés.

It is the perfect opportunity to win, I hope they do not waste it.

Luck !
