Celta de Vigo - Las Palmas predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Las Palmas are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Celta de Vigo should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Celta De Vigo, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Celta De Vigo went into their previous La Liga match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Real Betis , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 2:1 defeat in hte end.

While Las Palmas’s previous La Liga match-up was somewhat hard for them, though the fact that they played as hosts made fans hope for a positive outcome. Such hopes were in vain - Las Palmas were already behind at half-time, and the game ended in a decisive 0:2 victory for Sevilla.

Celta De Vigo have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Las Palmas. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Though they’re not in the relegation zone, Celta are placed at 17th on the table. They’ll want to build up a healthy point difference if they want to be sure they’ll stay in the La Liga, and they have a good shot at doing so this Saturday.

Team from Vigo have a narrow defeat on record from earlier in the season. With home-field advantage, however, they’re expected to win this showdown – at least as far as the bookies are concerned.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Joseph Aidoo, Renato Tapia, Luca De La Torre, Carlos Dotor, Mihailo Ristić will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.83. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
