Celta Vigo need to be at their best against the league leaders

Celta Vigo are coming into this match after a fine away win in Getafe in the last round. Notably, that was the Sky Blues’ third win of the season and the first after two defeats. As a result, Celta climbed away from the danger zone in the table but still need to collect points. Despite finding the back of the net on ten occasions, boss Eduardo Coudet knows his team needs to be more effective in front of goal.

Obviously, that was the case against Getafe as Celta scored three goals in a match for the first this season. Surely scoring three against rock bottom Getafe was easy enough. However, playing Real Sociedad is different as Celta scored just twice in the last four h2hs. Since the Real Madrid game when Celta lost by five goals, their defense improved conceding four goals in five games.

It has been a remarkable season so far for Real Sociedad to say the least. Despite having two points fewer from less season at this stage, the White and Blues are leading the La Liga table. They have played a game more than Real Madrid, nonetheless, Real deserve to be where they are. Moreover, they could be in a better position had they not failed to keep their lead in their last match against Atletico Madrid.

In fact, Real led 2-0 but couldn’t sustain Atletico’s pressure as they gave away a penalty for Suarez to equalize. Nonetheless, coach Imanol Alguacil is doing a great job as his team is undefeated since their opening day loss to Barcelona. Markedly, Real scored in all of their last five games and are unbeaten in their last four away games. Hence, Alguacil will want nothing less than three points from this trip.

Celta Vigo vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Despite the difference between the two teams on the La Liga table, the bookies are paying quite high for a Real Sociedad win. To illustrate, a Celta Vigo win has odds of 2.83 while Sociedad’s 2.56. 

Surely we can take advantage of this taking into consideration Sociedad’s form. However, we think it’s better to bet a double chance to minimize the risk combined with a total goa bet to have better odds.

Thus looking at the market statistics, there is a 70% chance that we will see under 3.5 goals. Also, that feat happened in three of the last four h2h. Moreover, Celta’s last six matches saw under 3.5 goals as well. 

To conclude, we will back a double chance win for Sociedad combined with under 3.5 goals. As for our second prediction, we will back another combination of both teams to score and a double chance.
