Celta de Vigo form and stats

Celta de Vigo have collected 20 points from their La Liga home games so far after 6-2-4.

A good away victory last time out for Celta de Vigo, who won 4-3 against Huesca (placed 20th). In the match before that, Celta de Vigo hosted Real Valladolid and drew the game 1-1.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

This is expected to be a close game, with Celta de Vigo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Celta as a small favourite), we find eight games. Celta de Vigo has won three of these, drawn zero and lost five.

A decent goal production from Celta in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
