Betting on Real Club Celta de Vigo
Just two defeats in its last 10 games have helped Celta de Vigo to get out of the relegation zone and take some distance from the hard-fought red zone.
In 12th place with 28 points, Carlos Carvalhal’s men are locked in a battle that includes seven teams separated by only three points. All these teams are placed between 18th place, the last relegation spot, and Celta’s 12th place.
The key element in this small comeback has been the team’s good defensive work. In its last ten games, it has only conceded nine goals, despite being seventh in goals conceded with 34. It is important to highlight that against Betis it conceded three of those.
Celta has also improved a lot at home, since in its last five matches in front of its fans, it has only lost once against Atlético de Madrid. This is a lot for a team that has only 16 points out of a possible 36 at home.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Iván Villar; Hugo Mallo, Joseph Aidoo, Unai Núñez, Javi Galán; Gabriel Veiga, Fran Beltrán, Franco Cervi, Luca de la Torre; Iago Aspas, Gonçalo Paciencia.
Betting on Rayo Vallecano de Madrid
A short four-game losing streak was more than enough for Rayo Vallecano to slip out of the European places last weekend. The team coached by Andoni Iraola has recorded three draws and one defeat in that period, placing seventh in the standings with 35 points, two points behind Villarreal in the Conference League places.
However, not everything is negative for the Vallecas team. Pending an improvement in offense after two clean sheets, the Rayo remains as the sixth lowest-scoring team in La Liga with just 25 goals conceded.
In addition, in its last seven away games, it has only one defeat, which took place two games ago against Cadiz. Its defense in this condition is one of the most solid of the tournament with only 13 goals conceded, but once again the offense has been a problem, scoring only 13 times.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Stole Dimitrievski; Iván Balliu, Florian Lejeune, Abdul Mumin, Francisco García; Óscar Valentín, Santiago Comesaña; Isi Palazón, Álvaro García; Sergio Pérez Camello, Raúl de Tomás.
JefeBet Prediction
For this clash, there is not much to think about. To see many goals in Balaídos would be a major surprise, considering both team’s current performances and what is at stake on Saturday.
Since returning from the World Cup break, eight of the ten games played by Celta Vigo have ended with two goals or fewer, while Rayo Vallecano’s last eight games have seen the final score of two goals or fewer.
In addition, the last three encounters between these two teams have ended with two goals or fewer on the scoreboard, including two 0-0 matches.
Prediction: Under (CEL 1 – RAY 1).
