Getafe vs Celta Vigo Preview and Team News

Getafe Team News

Getafe looked to be headed toward a potential relegation battle with four back-to-back defeats in La Liga. However, a 2-1 victory against Mallorca has secured their stay in Spain’s top flight league. 

This match was one of the few occasions where Getafe led the score in the Expected Goals battle, registering 1.6 xG against 0.43 for their opponents. In a typical Getafe fashion, the team only recorded 28% possession, instead looking to play on the counter when their opponents overexpand in transitions.

Getafe had not won a match since April 6th, when they defeated last-placed Valladolid (4-0). This can be considered an exception, considering Getafe’s offense has been insufficient to compete during the final months of the season. The team tends to rely on Uche and Mayoral to do the offensive work, but lacks technical midfielders to supply the pair with quality chances in the penalty box. 

Domingos Duarte and Alex Sola are awaiting medical clearance.

Getafe Predicted Line-up vs Celta Vigo

Getafe Predicted line-up vs Celta Vigo (4-2-3-1): Soria; Rico, Alderete, Berrocal, Djené; Da Costa, Uche; Arambarri, Terrats, Juan Iglesias; Mayoral.

Celta Vigo Team News

While Getafe avoided a relegation battle, Celta Vigo are looking to secure their spot in the Europa League for the first time in a decade. The Galicians are 7th in La Liga, which would grant them qualification. 

However, a victory is required as Rayo Vallecano are only one point behind. Celta Vigo lost to Rayo Vallecano (2-1) last week and now need to bounce back on the last matchday.

Celta Vigo are surprisingly a team relying on offense, which is rare at this level. Putting aside relegation-threatened sides, Celta have conceded the most goals in the league this season (56). 

On the other hand, they have barely scored more than they conceded (57). Instead, they have relied on the offensive prowess of Fer López and Borja Iglesias, with the latter hoping to extend his contract with the club beyond the loan.

This is also why European qualification is needed for Celta Vigo, as it would allow them to expand their budget. This is especially necessary in the defense, which has been the team’s main issue. 

Carl Starfelt will be sidelined due to injury, while Jailson is awaiting medical clearance.

Celta Vigo Predicted line-up vs Getafe

Celta Vigo Predicted line-up vs Getafe (3-4-3): Guaita; Alonso, Lago, Rodriguez; Mingueza, Moriba, Beltrán, Carreira; González, Borja Iglesias, Fer López.

Getafe vs Celta Vigo Prediction

• Prediction: Celta Vigo to win 
• Odds: 1.82 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Getafe 1-2 Celta Vigo

The match is of little importance for Getafe, as they will remain in La Liga regardless of this game’s outcome. However, Celta Vigo will probably opt to press Getafe higher up the pitch in the hope of squeezing out a win. The qualification for the Europa League would be the coronation of a difficult season, and the return to Europe after long years for the club.

However, Celta Vigo’s attacking approach may suffer from Getafe’s go-to tactics, which consist of sitting deep and relying on the counter. However, based on current form, Celta Vigo are likely to pass this time.

Getafe vs Celta Vigo Betting Tip

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: 1.88 (22Bet)

Getafe are considered the antichrist of attacking football, but this match may be different due to the tactical diversity between the two teams. Getafe often thrive against attacking teams that leave space in behind, which just happens to be Celta Vigo’s case.

On the other hand, Celta Vigo’s attacking power has made them one of the most challenging teams to play against, due to a variety of creativity in the midfield (Beltrán, Moriba) with an old-school attacker like Iglesias.
