Celta Vigo vs Sevilla prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-05-09 14:15.
[p]Despite a run of three defeats from their last four matches (W1), Celta Vigo begin matchday 35 inside La Liga’s top seven and in a strong position to secure their first European qualification in nearly a decade. The fixture list has been far from kind to the Galicians in recent weeks with three of their last four games coming against higher-ranked opposition, but they showed some mettle in a slender one-goal defeat to Real Madrid last week.[/p]
[p]The arrival of struggling Sevilla to Balaidos should make for a pleasant change, so manager Claudio Giráldez will be looking to his side to maintain their recent goalscoring prowess which has seen them find the net eight times across their last three matches. After winning six of their last nine at home (D1, L2), this game seemingly offers an excellent opportunity for Celta to end a four-match winless H2H streak as hosts (D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Such has been Sevilla’s demise, with four matches to go they’re yet to secure survival in La Liga, boasting a six-point gap to the drop zone heading into the weekend. A seven-match winless run has placed them into this precarious position (D2, L5) and with their last two matches of the season coming against top-five occupants Real Madrid and Villarreal, the time to improve is now.[/p]
[p]Next week’s home clash with Las Palmas, who start this weekend in the bottom three, could define their season. There’ll be even more riding on that game should Sevilla fail to arrest a three-game losing streak on the road, but with all those defeats coming by one-goal margins, JoaquĂn CaparrĂłs’ men at least remain tough to beat on their travels.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Borja Iglesias has been in fine form of late, directly contributing to five goals in his last three matches, including a goal and assist in Celta’s last home game against Villarreal (W 3-0). Juanlu Sánchez assisted Sevilla’s second goal in the draw with Leganés last week, but his other seven goal involvements in La Liga this term came on the road.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: The last 41 H2Hs have produced just one goalless draw.[/p]
