Sevilla Vs Celta Vigo: Match Prediction
Despite the lack of consistency in results at home, Sevilla try to fight until the end and are particularly active in the offensive phase. In their last 14 home matches in La Liga the team failed to score on only three occasions, and in four of those matches they scored at least twice. At the same time, defensive reliability cannot be praised: in the previous 19 home league matches Sevilla kept a clean sheet only three times.
Celta Vigo look very solid on the road, preferring aggressive attacking play. In the recent game against Oviedo the visiting team ended an 18-match scoring run away in La Liga, and during that span the club scored at least twice in eight fixtures. On the other hand, the visiting team rarely avoid errors at the back: in 18 of the last 23 away league matches the team conceded.
Prediction: Both teams to score
