A battle from the bottom half of the table in La Liga will put Sevilla against Celta Vigo in a battle to stave off relegation. Although hosts Sevilla are 6 points away from the dropdown zone, things are much closer for Celta, who have the slightest of margins of just 1 point. It is no surprise that a win is essential for both here.
Sevilla Team News
A disappointing 2-2 draw with Almeria must have left Sevilla wanting for more. They have been unable to translate their recent good home form to the road. And that recent good form at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan has seen them overcome the likes of Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad – 2 teams from La Liga’s top 6. Before that, a draw with Osasuna was reached, which would mean that as of now, Sevilla is on a 3-game unbeaten streak at home. But if the team want to survive and play another season in Spain’s top echelon, they must make sure to make the most of their strengths. And home games have been exactly that for the team and where points are usually won.
Celta Vigo Team News
A centenary year for Celta Vigo is unfolding and they are not guaranteed a place in the 2024/2025 La Liga season. The distance between them and the relegation zone is just 1 point. Unfortunately for Celta, away games have been troublesome as of late. Two losses from the last 3 league trips have made sure of that, Especially damaging was the draw with Cadiz, who are just a point behind Celta and are fighting the same battle as them. The difficult situation at Celta called for managerial changes and Rafael Benitez was swiftly dismissed after the 4-0 loss against Real Madrid. Now, B team coach Claudio Giráldez will have to piece together a plan to ensure his team’s survival.
Head-to-Head-Games
Games between Sevilla and Celta have been quite evenly contested in recent years. The head-to-head statistics are a clear indicator of that – the last 4 meetings have ended in a stalemate with Sevilla picking up the win before that. When Sevilla hosts such games, the statistics are not much different, with 3 of the last 5 outings at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan seeing a draw between Sevilla and Celta.

Sevilla – Celta Vigo Betting Prediction
Neither team is enjoying the best of seasons and is in a position to fight for their survival. Sevilla has been playing well at home recently and has picked up commendable victories against top La Liga teams. Celta, on the other hand, has been performing below par on the road but could have the hidden bonus of a recent managerial change. I do not think it will be enough for them, as Sevilla has shown they can get the job done at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan and against tougher teams. That is why I am backing them to win this fixture.
