Girona vs Celta Vigo prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-02-28 13:00.
[p]While a 2-0 defeat away to Real Madrid is nothing to be ashamed of, that’s just the latest result in a horrid run for Girona, who have now suffered seven defeats from their last eight matches (W1). That sole victory came against relegation-threatened Las Palmas, with the defeats around it resulting in their fall to 13th in the La Liga table and rounding off their unsuccessful European campaign. [/p]
[p]That’s mostly due to MĂchel’s men losing their last three top-flight matches, and they must now pick themselves up to avoid losing four La Liga matches in succession within the same season for the first time since April 2019. Perhaps a matchup with Celta Vigo will lift the Red and Whites’ spirits as they’re unbeaten in the last four H2Hs (W2, D2), their longest-ever unbeaten streak against their upcoming visitors. [/p]
[p]Celta will be keen to put an end to that by making the most of their recent uptick in form after avoiding defeat in four of their last five league matches (W2, D2) to leapfrog Girona in the table. Their last three matches have been especially profitable (W2, D1), setting them up to go four successive top-flight matches unbeaten in a single campaign for the first time since December 2023.[/p]
[p]Achieving that feat would see the Sky Blues enter the conversation for a European spot, something that would represent a massive achievement as their last top-six finish came back in 2015/16. They can probably kiss that dream goodbye if manager Claudio Giráldez doesn’t amend their woeful away form this season though, with a measly six of their 32 league points this season coming on the road (W1, D3, L8). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Girona will be glad to welcome back Yangel Herrera from suspension, as he’s been pivotal for them by scoring in two of their last three games against Celta, the last of which served as the match opener in the reverse fixture. That was cancelled out by Iago Aspas’ seventh career goal against Girona, and he could be in the mood once again having come off the bench to score in Celta’s last two games.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Each of Celta Vigo’s last seven La Liga matches have featured a goal between minutes 61 and 70.[/p]
