Celta de Vigo form and stats

The story so far in the La Liga for Celta de Vigo, who have the most conceded goals (11) at home in La Liga, at their home stadium (Estadio de Balaídos) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

It's back home for Celta de Vigo, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Athletic Club away with the result 2-0. Iago Aspas and Hugo Mallo found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Celta won a home game hosting Granada (3-1).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Celta de Vigo matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and three defeats (from six games).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Celta as they are travelling to their away game against Llanera in the Copa Del Rey. That match is three days after this one.

The Celta de Vigo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Celta are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (11 from 5 played).

Cádiz form and stats

The away team, who have the most clean sheets (4) away in La Liga, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the La Liga.

Impressive finishing from Álvaro Negredo and Álvaro Giménez secured the home win 2-1 against Barcelona in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Elche.

Goalkeeper Jeremías Ledesma was absolutely vital in the Cádiz victory against Barcelona, making eight saves. Álvaro Negredo came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Barcelona last time out, making the manager Á. Cervera Díaz feel like a tactical genius.

The schedule is very tough for Cádiz now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Del Rey game at Ribadumia is waiting in only three days.

Cádiz are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 6 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Cádiz as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Celta five wins, one draw and Cádiz two victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
