Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting tips
The meeting between Real Sociedad and Celta de Vigo from Sunday evening in the Anoeta promises to be a goal-wide duel. Both teams score very easily, but also regularly get one or more goals against the ears.
Real Sociedad :
Real Sociedad is back again. Last season, the Basques already had 35 points after nineteen rounds of play, and they were fifth in the Spanish top. This year, however, the blue-whites halfway through the season have twelve points less and they turned fifteen to their worst second half since the promotion in 2010. Trainer Eusebio puts his hand in his own bosom: ‘We are much too volatile and that is my responsibility. ” Last weekend it went wrong again. At home against the unbeaten leader FC Barcelona, La Real seemed on the way to a stunt, but the home team slipped a 2-0 lead: 2-4.
There is nothing wrong with the forefront of Real Sociedad, because with 33 league goals only FC Barcelona and Valencia are more effective this season than the Basques. The big problem, however, is that the defense with 34 counter-hits is as leaky as a basket. Even in the final stages, Malaga is doing better than the team of trainer Eusebio, who has to fear more and more for his job. This week, chairman Jokin Aperribay and sports director Loren had an appointment in a restaurant with the leaders Xabi Prieto, Inigo Martinez, Asier Illarramendi and Imanol Agirretxe. The fact that Eusebio was not invited was obviously plenty of food for speculation. A defeat against Celta de Vigo could well mean the proverbial drop.
Celta Vigo :
With a provisional eleventh place, Celta de Vigo experienced a somewhat disappointing first half of the season, but the Galicians might well become the revelation of the second half of the season. The blue shirts are starting to play better and better lately and also score incredibly easy. The tridente Maxi Gomez, Iago Aspas and Pione Sisto were already good for 24 hits and fifteen assists this season. In particular, Iago Aspas scores on the conveyor belt and together with Lionel Messi, Simone Zaza and Saul belongs to one of the four contenders to be crowned best player of the first half of the season. Last weekend, however, the Danish grand pianist Sisto claimed the leading role by signing the only goal of the match at Levante: 0-1. Aspas was accused of racism by Levante midfielder Jefferson Lerma after the game, although he says nothing of that: “What happens on the field stays on the field. However, I can assure you that I did not say what Lerma claims. ”
Also positive was that Celta de Vigo against Levante for the first time since a long time once again managed to keep the zero, something in which the Galicians since November 24 last year no longer succeeded. With 27 opponents, the blue shirts with the same ailment as Real Sociedad face a lot of scoring, but they also get a lot of adversity. However, against Levante, goalkeeper Ruben Blanco had a world-class rescue and he personally saved his team from losing points.
