Real Sociedad - Celta de Vigo betting tips and odds

Though we can call Real Sociedad the favourites in this matchup, Celta de Vigo are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Team from Vigo fans are expecting them to triumph at Sociedad this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Sociedad’s morale is riding high after a dominating performance at Espanyol in the previous round. Online bookmakers priced their away win at 3.90 and they delivered on those expectations by taking the lead in the first half and holding on to it until the end.

Celta lost their previous La Liga clash against Atlético Madrid, just like most betting predictions anticipated. Considering how difficult the matchup was for them, though, the match it was fairly close with a draw at half time and 0:1 at the end.

The only noteworthy trend we can note for The Sky Blues is that their latest two home games ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals market. You should probably keep this in mind when choosing the most suitable bet for this fixture.

The hosts have their eyes set on victory. They’re 14 points behind the best-placed team with plenty of time to make up the difference – and a win here seems like a great step towards that end.

The first half of the season was far from ideal for Celta, with them ending up as number 14th in the standings. On one hand, they still have time to work towards a satisfying end to the campaign. On the other, Sociedad present a major obstacle and wrestling away any points this Saturday will be a challenge.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went La Real’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Elustondo, Gorosabel, Jon Pacheco, David Silva, Martín Merquelanz, Mohamed-Ali Cho, Umar Sadiq will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.61 odds.
