Girona - Celta de Vigo predictions

Girona are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.16 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Celta de Vigo may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Celta would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Girona’s previous La Liga match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Real Madrid . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 10.11. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 2:0 result before the end.

The visiting team played a game at home last round against Osasuna, with pre-match betting odds favouring them heavily at around 5.49. They initially failed to press their advantage and spent a good chunk of the game in a stalemate, but eventually took the lead and won 1:0.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

A quick look at the away team’s recent track record reveals that they haven’t let a single of their most recent 7 matches go by without scoring at least once. Statistically speaking, they’re likely to continue this streak.

We’re at round 26 already, and Girona managed to win a grand total of 31 point so far. This puts them 4 points below a Europa League qualification, so winning a challenging matchup such as this one will be a great boon.

The Sky Blues are not likely to move up the table any time soon if the 3.42 betting odds are any indication. They’re currently sitting at number 10th. Although it’s a relatively strong position, they’ll miss out on any Europa ambitions unless they earn another 3 points in what’s left of the season.

These two teams already clashed multiple times this season, and neither managed to come out on top in any of those games. Most bookmakers see Girona as the favourites, though, so they’ll want to use the extra drive of being the hosts to finally earn a conclusive result.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.87, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
