Celta de Vigo - Leganés predictions

Celta de Vigo are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Leganés winning, though.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of The Sky Blues and the 6.30 odds given to Leganés to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

The previous round was fairly uneventful for both The Sky Blues and Girona , the opposing home team. Considering an away win was priced at 2.18 with most top online bookies, however, a 2:2 draw is a positive result for The Sky Blues.

Leganés went into their previous match against Getafe as clear underdogs despite the home-field advantage. As such, the tie score during half-time was a bit of a surprise – let alone the narrow 1:0 victory Leganés bagged in the end.

The Sky Blues are on a streak of more than 7 consecutive matches in which they’ve put their name on the board. If you’re looking for football bets like Both Teams to Score, this matchup may be of interest.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

While there is reason to be pleased with the number 10th position in the standings, Celta likely have plans to move up. They’ll want to secure a Europa League qualification while they still have opportunities to do so.

Leganés are not likely to walk away with any points in Estadio de Balaídos, which can quickly become a big issue. They’re near the bottom of the standings with just 3 points between them and the dreaded relegation zone. We’re already at round 27, too, so the lower-placed team will be trying to claw their way up.

Celta De Vigo previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the La Liga and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 1.58.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
