Celta de Vigo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Celta de Vigo, who have the most conceded goals (34) away in La Liga, so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-10 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Celta de Vigo have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Villarreal game.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Espanyol in their previous outing. The La Liga match ended in a draw 1-1. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Girona.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Celta de Vigo playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were 2 Celta de Vigo wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

Celta de Vigo find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 21 goals from 17 away fixtures. For Celta de Vigo, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
