Celta Vigo's Fabian Orellana (L) and Nolito.

Contending squad Celta Vigo (6-3-3, 21 points) will play lowly team Sporting Gijon (3-6-3, 12 points) at their home stadium of Estadio Municipal de Balaídos on Saturday, November 28 for a 2015-2016 La Liga season encounter.

Celta Vigo is slightly reeling with a two-game losing slide as of the moment. Its last game was a sorry 0-2 defeat in the hands of Deportivo La Coruna at the Estadio Municipal de Riazor last Saturday, which was the team's third loss in four matches, via SkySports.

Deportivo's Spanish winger Lucas scored the opening goal at the 23rd minute to gain the early lead.

The Celtics tried to find the equalizer from that point on, but Eduardo Berizzo's men had failed until full time. An own goal by Os Celestes defender Jonny during injury time made the count 2-0 to add insult to injury.

Meanwhile, Sporting Gijon is also lost its last two games with the most recent one a 0-3 beating by bottom three club Levante at their own Estadio El Molinón on Sunday, as per Sports Mole.

Abelardo Fernández's squad could not stop the onslaught of goals from Les Granotes as Brazilian forward Deyverson scored a double at the 18th and 44th minute, sandwiching Moroccan defender Zouhair Feddal's strike at the 27th to bury Los Rojiblancos with a three-goal lead at the half.

Os Célticos is set to go back to its winning form in this match against Sporting Gijon and the team will not let the opportunity slip away.

The predicted result is a 2-0 decision for Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Alvarez; Mallo, Gomez, Fontas, Jonny; Fernandez, Wass; Orellana, Bergara, Nolito; Aspas

Sporting Gijon starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Cuellar; Lora, Hernandez, Espinosa, Canella; Mascarell, Cases; Fraile, Halilovic, Carmona; Sanabria
