Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
Celta Vigo seemed to have found their stride, going three matches unbeaten, but then suffered defeats to less formidable opponents—Sevilla (0:1) and Espanyol (1:3). The hosts also have slim chances of success in the upcoming fixture. Real Sociedad have historically performed well against the Celts, and the Basque side rarely slip up on the road.
Celta Vigo
Celta have managed just one win in their last five matches. They exhibit average scoring this season, netting 1.47 goals per game, but their defence remains a weak spot—conceding an average of 1.65 goals. At Balaídos, Celta enjoy playing openly but frequently make costly defensive errors, which has occurred in seven of their last nine matches.
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad have lost just once in their previous six games. They boast the most reliable defence in La Liga, conceding an average of 0.65 goals per game. They have kept 10 clean sheets in 17 league matches. In seven away La Liga matches, they have only conceded twice. However, their attack is not as smooth, scoring 0.94 goals per game, but they consistently hit the back of the net in 7 of their last 10 matches. In head-to-head encounters with Celta, Real Sociedad have not only remained unbeaten in seven consecutive games but also scored consistently.
Celta Vigo vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Real Sociedad hold significant tactical and psychological advantages in matches against Celta. The visitors demonstrate stable defensive play and regularly score against their opponents. Given their head-to-head advantage, we are opting for this intriguing bet.
