Gijon vs Celta Vigo B Prediction & Betting Tips (4 October)

Sporting Gijón host Celta Vigo B (Celta Fortuna) at El Molinón on 4 October 2026 in a LaLiga2 clash between two sides still searching for consistency early in the 2026/27 season. The hosts sit 12th with 10 points from seven matches, bouncing back from a stuttering start that included a goalless home draw with Sabadell on the opening day (0-0) before grinding out a narrow victory over Burgos (1-0). Nicolás Larcamón's men followed that with an impressive 3-1 win at Andorra, though home defeats to Girona and Eldense showed there is still work to do at El Molinón.

Celta Vigo B, playing in the second tier for the first time in club history after winning the promotion play-off against Ponferradina, arrive in 15th place with 8 points and a young, energetic squad coached by Fredi Álvarez. The visitors' recent form has been mixed: they were thumped by high-flying Eibar (0-4) but showed resilience to hold Sabadell at Balaídos last weekend (1-1), with Álvaro Marín — their top scorer with two goals — once again on the scoresheet. Fortuna will be without Stefan Bajčetić (hamstring) and Jan Oliveras (knee), both long-term absentees.

For the 2026/27 campaign, Sporting Gijón have assembled one of the most experienced squads in the division: Rubén Yáñez in goal behind Guille Rosas, Jorge Sáenz and Pablo Vázquez, with summer arrivals Hugo Guillamón (from Hajduk Split), Konrad de la Fuente (from Lausanne), Alejo Sarco (from Bayer Leverkusen) and loanee striker Andrés Ferrari adding quality around César Gelabert, Gaspar Campos and Juan Otero. Celta Fortuna, true to their academy identity, counter with raw talent such as playmaker Germain Miller (two assists already), forwards Marín and Ángel Arcos, and goalkeeper Coke Carrillo — a lineup built for the future rather than the present.

The European odds reflect the gulf in resources and home advantage, with Sporting Gijón priced as clear favourites at 1.52, the draw at 3.83 and Celta Vigo B as big outsiders at 5.79. Fortuna's leaky defence has already conceded 11 goals in seven games, and against Larcamón's battle-tested spine — and a home crowd at El Molinón eager to see their side climb toward the playoff places — we expect the hosts to dominate from start to finish. Our prediction: Sporting Gijón 3-0 Celta Vigo B, with Ferrari, Gelabert and Otero all getting on the scoresh
