Getafe — Celta Vigo Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 1 February 2026
On February 1, 2026, in Matchday 22 of La Liga, Getafe will host Celta Vigo. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:30 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Getafe
Getafe come into this fixture in very poor form. The team are currently on a nine-game winless run across all competitions. During this spell, Getafe have collected just three draws and suffered six defeats, conceding at least one goal in every match. In their most recent outing, Getafe came close to ending this run but conceded a late equaliser away to Girona and had to settle for a 1–1 draw. Prior to that, they suffered consecutive league defeats against Valencia and Real Sociedad. This poor sequence has left Getafe in 17th place in the table, just one point above the relegation zone. The situation was further worsened by their Copa del Rey elimination, as they were beaten 1–3 at home by Segunda División side Burgos.
As for their home form, Getafe have also been unconvincing. In their last five matches at the Coliseum, they have recorded just one win and four defeats.
However, looking at head-to-head meetings against Celta Vigo at Getafe’s stadium, the record is quite balanced. In the last five encounters there, both teams have claimed two wins each, with one match ending in a draw. These fixtures have generally been fairly productive: four of the last five finished with over 1.5 goals, and in three of those matches both teams found the net.
Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo have failed to win in their last two matches. They first suffered a 1–3 away defeat to Real Sociedad in La Liga, before playing out a 1–1 draw against Crvena zvezda in midweek Europa League action. Despite these results, Celta’s overall form in recent weeks has been fairly solid. Prior to this short winless run, the team put together a four-match winning streak across all competitions. In total, Celta have recorded five wins, three draws and just one defeat in their last nine matches.
In La Liga, Celta currently sit 7th in the standings. They are nine points adrift of the Champions League places, but only two points behind the Europa League zone. In European competition, the team successfully progressed to the knockout stage of the Europa League, finishing 16th in the standings. Their Copa del Rey campaign, however, came to an end recently, as they were eliminated on penalties by Albacete.
Away from home, Celta have shown some inconsistency, but their results remain respectable. In their last six away matches across all competitions, they have suffered only one defeat, alongside three draws and two wins. As for head-to-head meetings with Getafe, recent encounters between the sides have been evenly balanced. In the last five meetings, each team has claimed two victories, with one match ending in a draw. Four of those five games produced over 1.5 goals. It is also worth noting that in the first-round meeting this season, Celta suffered a 0–2 home defeat to Getafe.

Getafe — Celta Vigo Prediction
Both teams come into this match after disappointing recent results, with neither side managing to secure a victory in their latest outings. However, the overall picture is very different. Getafe have been without a win for a long period, sit dangerously close to the relegation zone, and continue to concede goals on a regular basis. Celta, by contrast, look far more stable. The visitors remain in the race for European qualification in La Liga and have also successfully reached the Europa League playoff stage. While recent head-to-head meetings between these sides have been fairly balanced, it is worth noting that Celta were beaten 0–2 by Getafe earlier this season, which adds an extra layer of motivation. Taking into account Getafe’s poor run of form, their defensive problems, and Celta’s desire to respond after the first-round defeat and strengthen their position in the European places race, this matchup looks well suited for goals. With both teams needing points for different reasons, an open and competitive game is expected. My bet for this match: Total Over 1.5 goals at odds of 1.62.
