Celta Vigo: Relegation in sight

In La Liga, the battle against relegation is coming to a head. Celta Vigo do not need much more to end up above the line, however, the last few weeks have not really gone according to plan. Nevertheless, the hosts have everything in their own hands.

The bookmakers’ Celta Vigo vs. Girona prediction shows that the bookmakers give the home side the role of favourites. Although this is not clear, it is definitely present. Celta Vigo have the home advantage at their back, even if their record in recent weeks is not really good.

Compared to Celta Vigo, Girona are currently looking better, although the last two games of the visitors were not outstanding either. Because there is more at stake for the hosts, our Celta Vigo vs. Girona tip is that the hosts do not lose and that more than 1.5 goals are scored

Celta Vigo – Statistics & current form

Celta Vigo are currently still fighting to stay in La Liga. The hosts still have to be vigilant in the last games and take points, currently the team has 39 points on the account. The security is only a deceptive one, given the four points on 18th place and the five points on 19th place. What causes a bit of negative ulterior motives for Celta Vigo are the last games.

Coach Carlos Carvalhal’s team lost four in a row recently. This has meant that the actually decent starting position has deteriorated from week to week. At the weekend, Valencia also won and overtook the hosts. A turnaround is needed, and even a draw against Girona could put the Carvalhal team in a much better position.

A big advantage in the fight against relegation is that Celta Vigo have the best goal difference of all teams from 14th place onwards. Especially in comparison to Cadiz and Valladolid, there is more or less a complete point as a bonus. The odds in this match are not bad, as the Celta Vigo vs. Girona odds show that the home side definitely have a good chance of a good result.

Celta Vigo: Not enough width in the attack

40 goals have been scored by Celta Vigo in their 35 league games so far. This record does not read catastrophic, but the number of goals highlights a problem. There are hardly any offensive players who take responsibility and score regularly. Gabri Veiga has nine goals, Iago Aspas twelve. When both are in the doldrums, little comes from Celta.

The defence (50 goals conceded) can neither be described as a big problem nor as a bulwark. Carvalhal’s side rarely concede more than two goals, and at home in particular they have often looked very tidy, as 19 goals conceded in 17 games clearly show. This is also where Celta have won six of their ten games this season and have managed to gain an average of around 0.5 points more per game.

In any case, there is a lot at stake for the hosts, and motivation could be decisive. Given the quality that can certainly be found in the squad, our prediction ahead of the Celta Vigo vs Girona match is that the hosts will not lose and score more than 1.5 goals in the process.

Girona – Statistics & current form

Girona FC’s season can definitely be described as very decent. The guests have already been able to annoy the one or other supposed favourites and are currently in the upper area of the table. Before the matchday, the team was in eighth place, and even seventh place still seems possible. For this to happen, however, the visitors will have to improve, especially away from home.

While Girona scored an average of 1.83 points at home, they only managed 0.88 points per game away from home. They have won three away from home and a strong ten at home. Most recently, however, they also lost at home – 1-2 against Villarreal. Celta, Betis, Osasuna: The remaining schedule also reads rather unpleasantly for the guests.

However, the team under coach Michel has more often managed to get out of small lows. Most recently, there was only one point from two games, but before that there were three wins in a row, including against Real Madrid. However, the away record is noticeable, especially in the Celta Vigo vs. Girona betting odds, where the bookmakers are sceptical about a success.

Girona: Not infrequently quite high-scoring

A trademark of Girona is the open sight that this team displays in many games. The team scored 55 goals and conceded 50. More than 100 goals were scored in matches involving the visitors. There were 18 in the last five games alone. Therefore, you can expect a lot of chances in this match, especially since Girona can play freely.

In any case, the visitors will try to take advantage of Celta Vigo’s uncertainty after four defeats in a row. High pressing could lead to scoring chances. At the same time, the opponent must play forward at least at times. Therefore, before the match Celta Vigo vs. Girona, our value tip is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored.

Celta Vigo – Girona Direct Comparison / H2H-Balance

Celta Vigo and Girona have faced each other directly in 14 matches. Seven of these matches were won by Celta Vigo, four times Girona were victorious. The first leg also went to Vigo, then with a narrow 1:0 away win.

Celta Vigo – Girona Tip

Celta Vigo are hoping to be rescued soon in La Liga, but have quite a decent starting position in the fight against relegation. Girona, on the other hand, are in a safe midfield position, and for the visitors it’s all about getting decent results in the remaining games.

Both teams lack top form, the hosts have the home advantage and face a rather weak team away from home. Therefore, before the match Celta Vigo vs Girona, our tip is that the hosts will not lose and more than 1.5 goals will fall.
