The Canaries came crashing back to Earth last night, taking us down with them. Charleroi 1 Sint Truiden 0 in Belgium yesterday means we could really use a win today.

Our week finishes where it began, in the lower reaches of La Liga. Sporting Gijon are in the relegation zone, having recently lost four straight at El Molinon.

More interesting, however, is that the famous old stadium has seen 44 goals in 11 Liga games so far this term. All of the last six there have delivered at least four goals each. Despite their overall bad form, the home side have scored 10 themselves in those six games, and hit the back of the net at least once in 10/11 this term. Only Barcelona have shut them out on their own patch.

Celta Vigo won the reverse fixture 2-1 and we fancy they'll help take this one to Over 2.5 Goals too. Eduardo Berizzo's men have struck seven times across the last three rounds of La Liga. Since the start of term 6/11 of their away days have brought at least three match goals and that record too suggests the price on Over 2.5 Goals this afternoon is generous.
