Getafe - Celta de Vigo predictions

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Celta de Vigo are still on the table.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with The Sky Blues seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.66, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Getafe will surely have been pleased with a Real Betis draw from the previous trip in the La Liga. They return home for the Sunday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

The previous match Celta played was one of the biggest upsets of the season, with them triumphing over Osasuna with a 0:3 goal difference. Not only were they initially seen as the underdogs, but they were also playing away, so the end result caught everyone by surprise.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez this Sunday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

With their recent performances in mind, we can expect Team from Vigo to perform quite well offensively. They recorded over 5 goals in their latest 3 away games – the lack of home-field advantage isn’t a big factor for them.

The first half of the season was far from ideal for The Sky Blues, with them ending up as number 16th in the standings. On one hand, they still have time to work towards a satisfying end to the campaign. On the other, Getafe present a major obstacle and wrestling away any points this Sunday will be a challenge.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Celta this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.58.
