H2H: Sevilla vs Celta Vigo – Prediction (La Liga

H2H: Sevilla vs Celta Vigo – Comparison.

Sevilla remain undefeated in all competitions (W2, D1) when Luuk de Jong records their opening goal. Just one of Iago Aspas’ eight career goals against Sevilla was scored away from home, as has just one of his four for Celta this LL campaign. Celta have failed to win their last seven LL matches as an outsider (D4, L3).

Sevilla Insights.

Sevilla will be shooting for three wins from four engagements as a La Liga (LL) favourite at home, having been on the right end of two of three 1-0 results so far. In fact, when including UEFA Champions League group stage fixtures, all five of their home encounters in 2020/21 have resulted in a one-goal margin result to either team (W4, L1). An average of just 2.57 shots on target per LL game has contributed to a stretch of six consecutive league matches in which Sevilla registered one or no goals, and it should come as no surprise then that five of those six games produced under 2.5 goals. Furthermore, with no first-half home goals to their name this LL season, Sevilla entered the international window as one of seven LL clubs yet to record a HT lead at home.

Celta Vigo Insights.

Celta Vigo remain winless away from home (D4, L1) despite conceding just one HT deficit across five LL trips, but will be looking to break that drought under new manager Eduardo Coudet. Similar to their hosts, all five of those encounters witnessed under 2.5 goals, with just one-third of their LL 2020/21 conceded goals being recorded on the road. Their poor form this season can be attributed to some slow starts both home and away, with Celta conceding the opening goal in their last six LL matches (D2, L4), shipping the first goal within 30 minutes in five of those six.
