MATCH PREVIEW

The sixth-placed Betis, and the seventh-placed Villarreal are going through dismal runs, and note that these two are the final European spots.

The ninth-placed Sky Blues will surely go after a top-seven finish. However, they will have to deliver some special performances along the way as there are just five match-days remaining.

As of now, Eduardo Coudet’s men are going through a rather good stretch of fixtures, compared to the Frogs. They are also scoring goals at a consistent rate, and at home they have lost just once in a while in the past six-month period.

Meanwhile, Paco Lopez’s men have effectively ruled out participation in European competitions. They are also on a worrying run, and are letting in goals in huge numbers.

Going on, due to their nine-point buffer over the relegation cut-off, they are also not under pressure to go after huge results. And do also note that they have a poor h2h record against this opponent over the years.

By the looks of things, expect a Celta Vigo victory this weekend at the Estadio de Balaídos.

PREDICTION

Coudet’s men had recorded a 2-1 win against Osasuna the last match-days. In the meantime, the Frogs lost 1-0 on the road against Elche.

Going on, the Sky Blues were unbeaten in ten of their last fourteen overall fixtures, and they had remained so in nine of their past twelve appearances at home.

On the other hand, their counterparts had lost seven of their past nine overall games, and they had remained winless in 14 of their past 16 fixtures. Note that they had also lost three of their past four road trips.

Finally, Lopez’s men also have a worrying h2h record against this rival over the years.

Taking these observations into account, expect a Celta Vigo victory this Estadio de Balaídos.

AH -0.75 to be given to Celta Vigo.
