Celta Vigo Preview: Silky Celta
Under the management of former B team coach Claudio Giraldez, who replaced Rafa Benitez in March 2024, Celta Vigo have been exceptional with much-improved performances and results as well as the style of football becoming very entertaining to watch at Balaidos.
The hosts do, though, come into this one on the back of a defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last weekend in a game in which they were 3-0 down to Los Blancos before fighting back to a 3-2 loss thanks to goals from Javi Rodriguez and Williot Swedberg.
Sevilla Preview: Sorry Sevilla
Sevilla have required three permanent managers in each of the last two seasons to eventually pull themselves clear from the bottom three and the relegation places. This season they stuck by Garcia Pimienta for much of it but have been dragged back down into the battle.
The former Las Palmas boss has been replaced by Joaquin Caparros, who is now in charge of his fifth reign at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. It has been a poor start and that continued last weekend with a 2-2 draw against relegation-bound Leganes in Seville.

Celta Vigo vs Sevilla Prediction
Celta Vigo have been thrilling to watch throughout this campaign with the Galicians’ 34 La Liga matches consisting of 108 goals as they chase European football, sitting tucked inside the top seven and the UEFA Europa League spots ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. They now face a Sevilla side that are slipping towards trouble with the Andalusians now winless in their last seven matches in the league. An entertaining home win is therefore to be expected at Balaidos.
