Sevilla vs Celta Vigo: Match preview
Sevilla’s last outing saw them travel to Atletico Madrid, where they squandered a 3-1 lead and ultimately lost 4-3. Despite playing well, this painful defeat pushed them down to 13th place in the standings with 19 points from 16 matches. Sevilla is now five points away from the European qualification spots, leaving room to climb the table if they can avoid similar collapses. They will need to capitalize on their home advantage and tighten their defense to remain competitive.
Celta sits higher in the table, two points ahead of Sevilla. In their last match, they secured a convincing 2-0 home win against Mallorca, breaking a three-match winless streak in La Liga. This victory boosted their morale as they aim for a spot in European competitions, sitting just three points behind the sixth position. Celta has consistently scored at least one goal in their last seven matches, which adds to their confidence heading into this game.
Probable lineups
- Sevilla: A. Fernandez; Carmona, Badé, Gudelj, Salas; J. Sanchez, Agoumé, Sow; Lukebakio, Romero, P. Fernandez
- Celta Vigo: Guaita; J. Rodriguez, Starfelt, Alonso; Mingueza, Beltran, Moriba, Alvarez; Aspas, Iglesias, Svedberg
Prediction
The two teams are close in the standings, and this match could be pivotal as only two points separate them. Both sides have something to fight for, as a win could significantly alter their position in the table. Given their recent scoring streaks and the importance of the game, my bet is on a match total over two goals, with odds of 1.51.
