Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo surprised La Liga fans at the beginning of the season by starting their campaign well, securing victories against Deportivo Alavés and Valencia.
One of the main reasons for this early success was the unexpected form of ex-Barcelona defender Oscar Mingueza. His role as a wingback and his ability to read the game has allowed him to not only carry out his defensive duties but also contribute when transitioning from defence to attack. As a result, he has scored 2 goals and delivered 5 assists in ten matches this season.

However, Celta Vigo’s successful run eventually came to an end and they currently sit 13th in La Liga. The club unsurprisingly lost against Real Madrid (2-1), but Léganes caught Celta Vigo off guard (3-0), as the hosts scored three goals in one game for the first time this season.
The road ahead does not get any easier, as they will face Getafe, Real Betis and Barcelona in the coming weeks.
On the bright side, the team had fun qualifying for the next round of the Copa del Rey, as they demolished UD San Pedro (1-5) in a stadium of 5,000 fans located close to Marbella. Although manager Claudio Giráldez González rotated his squad, it was enough for the Galicians to secure a victory.

They scored within four minutes and added four more after San Pedro’s brief equalizer.
Celta’s Jailson, Luca de la Torre, and Carlos Domínguez are injured and will miss the clash with Getafe.
Getafe
Getafe is famous for a specific brand of football, and manager José Bordalas is known for coaching “an annoying team”.
Bordalas’ team is known for using all the dark arts of the sport, often landing multiple yellow cards for reckless fouls. This reflects Bordalas’ own fiery demeanor on the sidelines. He has often had his feuds on and off the pitch, often ending with a red card for the manager.

However, Getafe’s precarious position highlights the mixed results of Bordalás’ defensive approach. They have only won one game in eleven matches and lost seven matches. They are now only one point ahead of the relegation zone, which shows that the ‘Bordalas method’ lacks efficiency.
Getafe was supposed to face Manises in the Copa Del Rey, but the floods in the Valencian region led to the match being postponed
Borja Mayoral, one of Getafe’s key players, is currently recovering from an injury. Whether he will be fit in time for the match against Celta remains uncertain.

Monday evening matches are rarely a pretty sight, as most fans cannot attend these games due to work commitments. This is one of the main reasons why these fixtures tend to be less exciting, not to say dull.
The Estadio de Balaídos, located in rainy Galicia, has earned a reputation for its challenging weather, adding a unique atmosphere similar to Stoke City’s stadium in England.

However, Getafe’s approach is a problem for many coaches due to their low block. Teams find it difficult to play through the compact defence of the team, something that’s likely to happen again on Monday for Celta de Vigo.
Celta’s creative output often relies heavily on Iago Aspas, but facing a compact Getafe defence, he willl need consistent support from the wings to break through.
While Aspas is known for his match-saving moments, he is still a player who can be isolated without sufficient help, which hasn’t always been reliable for Celta.
Celta Vigo vs Getafe Betting Tip
- Pick: Correct score: 0-0
- Odds: 6 (22Bet)
As previously mentioned, Monday games rarely make the headlines as they lack fans in the stadiums.
Getafe has never been a high-scoring team, but matters only get worse when Borja Mayoral isn’t available.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, may hit Getafe on the counter, but Aspas and partner Iglesias will need to make the most of their chances.
If any of these two teams were to score, it would be Getafe, though they haven’t been great at it.
Therefore, the most likely outcome for this game is a goalless draw, a result that won’t help both teams much in the standings.
