Celta de Vigo form and stats

Playing away, Celta de Vigo have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the La Liga this season. Celta de Vigo seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Celta had fun at their own home (Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán) last time out, beating Osasuna 2-0. Mallo and Mina scored. Aidoo, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.82. Aidoo won 6 of 9 duels.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Real Sociedad's place.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
