For the Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo prediction, we say Real Sociedad to win 1-0 and this is why. Celta Vigo got their new campaign to a losing start when they lost 2-o at home to Osasuna and visiting Real, who drew at home 1-1 against Girona last weekend and are unbeaten in their last four games, including friendlies, means they are increasingly likely to lose their opening two LaLiga matches.
We predict under 2.5 goals for the Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo match and this is why. Real’s last four matches finished with under 2.5 goals and three of Celta’s last four games ended similarly. Hence, the likelihood of this game ending with at most two goals is decent.
Real Sociedad started their new season with a 1-1 home draw against Girona last weekend, stretching their unbeaten run to four games, including three friendlies. However, they have a chance to get their first win in LaLiga this term when they host struggling Celta Vigo, who lost 2-0 at home against Osasuna last weekend.
Celta Vigo did really well in pre-season, winning three friendlies on a bounce but somehow forgot all they learned in pre-season when they succumbed to a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Osasuna. However, they have a chance to try and find their pre-season form when they face Real Sociedad this Saturday.
