Celta Vigo vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
The Celtinas absolutely want to come out of the table cellar with a home win. But that shouldn’t be easy with the game between Celta Vigo and Sevilla. At least the bookmakers see the guests from Andalusia as favorites in the forecast. Nonetheless, Celta Vigo will certainly do everything to finally achieve the first victory of the year on early Sunday.
Last weekend, Oscar’s team performed well in Valencia over long stretches, but in the end had to admit defeat. Sevilla faced Mirandes in the round of 16 of the Cup a good week ago and, just like Celta Vigo, failed on the second division side.
Now the Andalusians want to report back to La Liga with a sense of achievement after this bankruptcy. Celta Vigo’s last four home games ended in a draw.
Celta Vigo:
Things are still looking bad for Celta Vigo this season. After all, the Celtinas are still in a relegation zone after 22 games. The team only has 17 points, but can still hope for relegation if they are only one point behind a non-relegation zone.
However, the Galicians need as many victories as possible in the coming weeks. However, Celta Vigo’s last success was a long time ago, because the team was last able to celebrate three points in the 14th match day. That was at the end of November when the Celtinas won 3-1 at Villarreal.
It was the only victory under coach Oscar that Celta Vigo has looked after since the beginning of November. The record under the new coach is disappointing with one win, five draws and four losses.
This makes the Galicians the second worst home team after Espanyol Barcelona. Due to the disappointing placement, Celta Vigo was still active on the transfer market and brought an additional player on loan to Galicia for all team parts. On the offensive, Fedor Smolov from Lokomotive Moscow is hoping for more danger in front of the gate.
From the point of view of those responsible, this is also necessary, because with only 17 goals Celta Vigo is currently the weakest offensive in La Liga. This year Celta Vigo initially drew three times in a row, but had to give up on the last match day at Valencia despite a decent performance for the first time in 2020.
The coach cannot rely on suspended Kevin Vazquez on Sunday. By the way, the Galicians remained undefeated in the last four home games, but on the other hand they never got beyond a draw.
Seville:
At Sevilla, former national coach Julen Lopetegui was signed before this season. This should lead the multiple Europa League winner of the past years back to old strength. So far, those responsible should be quite satisfied with the development this season, if one excludes the disappointing elimination in the Spanish Cup.
Seville recently faced second division CD Mirandes in the round of 16 and embarrassed themselves in a 3-1 loss. Apart from that, the Sevillistas are still on course in both the Europa League and La Liga. In the European competition, Sevilla survived the group phase without any problems and at the end of February had the chance to advance against the Romanian club CFR Cluj in the round of 16.
In the Spanish league, the Lopetegui team is currently in fourth place in the table, which is known to bring the hoped-for qualification for the Champions League at the end of the season. This year, however, things are still not going well for the Andalusians who have just won a game. Apart from that, there were still two draws, while you lost 2-1 at Real Madrid in the course of the 20th game day.
Sevilla celebrated their only win in 2020 on the penultimate day of the game when a derby against Granada saw a 2-0 home win in the final whistle thanks to goals from Luuk de Jong and Nolito.
Sevilla were extremely successful away this season and already got 20 points on the opponent’s place. This makes the Andalusians the second best away team in La Liga after Real Madrid.
Sevilla want to claim their seventh away win on Sunday, even though the coach may have to do without the stricken Carrico and Munoz in this task. It will be interesting to see whether the new attacker Youssef En-Nesyri might make it into the starting XI for the first time this time.
