Sant Andreu vs Celta prediction, H2H and probable line-ups – December 4, 2025
Sant Andreu
One of the matches in the Spanish Cup matchday will take place on Thursday at the Narcís Sala Stadium in Barcelona, where the local side Sant Andreu will host Celta. We offer a betting tip for this clash with strong chances of success.
Match preview
Sant Andreu this season continues to battle for survival in their group, remaining rooted to the bottom of the table. The team lacks financial resources, which in turn means a lack of squad depth, making it difficult to aim for any serious results. The win over Teruel in the Cup was an exception against the backdrop of a general decline. Recent league games highlight the crisis: a winless streak and a weekend defeat to Girona’s reserves speak for themselves.
Amidst all this instability, Sant Andreu will try to capitalize on home advantage and play defensively. On home soil, the team usually plays with more commitment, which could cause some minor problems for their more illustrious opponents. Nevertheless, a lack of creativity up front and frequent defensive errors make their prospects in this match rather bleak.
Celta, on the other hand, are undergoing a rebuilding phase and have struggled to find consistent form after losses during the off-season. Wins alternate with defeats, the team is heavily reliant on the form of key players, and the recent home loss to Espanyol was a real wake-up call. In the La Liga standings, the Galicians are dangerously close to the relegation zone, which only adds to the pressure.
However, the Cup offers Celta a chance to take a break from league frustrations and reboot. Against a modest opponent from the lower divisions, they are expected to show their class. Even in their current form, Celta’s squad is a cut above, and deep rotation should ensure control over the flow of the match.
Probable line-ups
- Sant Andreu: Garcia-Alejo – Santiago – Gomez – Martinez – Mendez – Topicec – Albertito – Serrano – Salva Gimera – Naranjo – Garcia
- Celta: Radu – Alonso – Starfelt – Rodriguez – Carreira – Beltrán – Romeu – Irineiac – Sáragosa – Rueda – Aspas
Match facts and head-to-head
- The teams have never met in official competition before
- Celta have lost their last two matches in a row
- Sant Andreu have only lost twice in their last five games
Prediction
The gulf in class between the teams is obvious. Despite some recent setbacks in La Liga, Celta should have little trouble against a side like Sant Andreu and are expected to win convincingly. We anticipate the visitors will take control of the ball from the opening minutes and impose their style of play. Our betting tip: under 3.5 total goals at odds of 1.55.
