Sevilla’s battle to stay in La Liga continued this weekend, as the Spanish giants host Celta Vigo. The visitors will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in the division to six this weekend.
La Liga Preview
There will be competitive action in La Liga this weekend, as Sevilla has home advantage in their hunt for maximum points against Celta Vigo. The hosts picked up a vital second win in three matches over the weekend, which lifted them up to 13th in the overall standings. That win also means that there is now a four-point difference between the Spanish giants and the bottom three places in the standings.
It was a classy performance by Sevilla over the weekend, as they bounced back after losing 2-0 against Getafe. The Spanish side picked up a 2-0 win on the road, as they overcame Cadiz. The scoring was opened just six minutes into the second half by Lucas Ocampos, before Youssef En-Nesyri doubled the advantage with just 15 minutes of the 90 remaining.
Celta Vigo may still have won eye on the relegation battle, as they are eight points clear of the drop zone. But, their recent form does suggest that they will likely play an increased role in the battle for a European spot. They currently sit tenth in the standings, but they are just nine points off the top six in the La Liga standings.
Their recent form has been very eye-catching, as they have picked up three wins and two draws from their previous five matches in the league. They were denied a third straight victory in their most recent fixture, as they could only play out a 2-2 home draw against Almeria. Carles Perez scored the second goal for Vigo in that entertaining draw.
Sevilla vs Celta Vigo Head to Head
Draws have been a very common result when these sides have clashed in recent seasons. Three of the last eight have ended level, including each of the previous two. Sevilla is unbeaten in their previous five against Celta, with three of them ending in wins for the hosts this weekend.
Sevilla vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Celta Vigo has been incredibly hard to beat over their previous six matches, and they will likely ask big questions of Sevilla on Friday. Therefore, we could see a likely outcome being the draw, just as it has been in the previous two encounters.
