Sevilla vs Celta Vigo Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Sevilla are at 8/11 to win, a draw is at 14/5, and a Celta Vigo win is at 15/4.

Sevilla are big favorites to win this match, and that is rightly so. Berizzo didn't have a good record against the Seville side, but he is now in charge of them and should have what he needs to see off his former side.

We suspect that Sevilla will have one eye on the match in midweek, but they are still at home and have a full squad to pick from against this Celta side. Sevilla have been fantastic at home as they customarily are, and they also just gave a good account of themselves in their loss away to Barcelona. They might need to work on their away form, but they will always be a major threat at home.

Celta Vigo are another side that will have to work on its away form if it hopes to climb up the table. They have remained in about the same spot in the league as last year, though they have had no European football to contend with. This perhaps means they are behind where they should be and want to be, mind you. Two wins and three losses away in La Liga shows they are very streaky and hard to predict.

Both teams to score is at 6/10 via Ladbrokes.

Sevilla vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Sevilla get the win at home to head into midweek on a bit of a high note.

Correct Score Prediction: Sevilla 2-1 Celta Vigo

 

Team News

Eduardo Berizzo has injuries to right back Gabriel Mercado, center backs Nicolas Pareja and Daniel Carrico, and wingers Joaquin Correa and Walter Montoya that will hold them out of the action.

Key Man

It has been a strange season for Sevilla so far in the league, with no one player stepping up and performing extremely well to lead them on their way. No player has more than two league goals, but the biggest threat still has to be Wissam Ben Yedder. The Frenchman has been better in Europe this term, but he is still very dangerous and could sink any team's hopes of defeating Sevilla at any time.

Team Form

Sevilla have two losses and three wins in their last five matches:

2-1 loss at Barcelona
2-1 home win vs Spartak Moscow (UCL)
2-1 home win vs Leganes
0-3 win at Cartagena (Copa del Rey)
4-0 loss at Valencia

Sevilla Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Sevilla likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Soria

  • Defenders:Corchia, Kjaer, Lenglet, Escudero

  • Defensive Midfielders:N'Zonzi, Pizarro

  • Attacking Midfielders:Navas, Banega, Sarabia

  • Forwards:Ben Yedder

Team News

Juan Carlos Unzue will be missing center back Facundo Roncaglia and winger Emre Mor for this trip to Seville.

Key Man

It's been a little bit tougher season for Celta Vigo this term, but Iago Aspas is still scoring goals among the very best in La Liga.  He has six total in the league so far this season, and two of those came in their most recent match at home to Bilbao. The Spanish striker has been superb since joining Celta and is a constant threat to change any match with his lethal finishing ability. That is quite the threat when paired with Pione Sisto, who has seven assists.

Team Form

Celta have three wins and a two losses in their last five matches:

3-1 home win vs Athletic Bilbao
2-1 loss at Malaga
1-2 win at Eibar (Copa del Rey)
0-1 home win vs Atletico
2-5 win at Las Palmas

Celta Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Celta Vigo likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Blanco

  • Defenders:Mallo, Gomez, Fontas, Castro

  • Midfielders:Lobotka, Hernandez, Wass

  • Forwards:Aspas, Sisto, Gomez

Sevilla have had issues playing away from home yet again this season, and that has seen them drop to sixth place currently in La Liga. But once again, as usual, they have been spectacular at home. And we expect to see that run of form continue as they face Celta Vigo, who have remained at about the same level that they were at last season. Celta are hovering in mid table again, and they are hit and miss away from home. Sevilla should be taking this ahead of their Champions League showdown with Liverpool.
Sevilla are unbeaten at home, winning four matches and drawing once, in the league so far.
