Before the Round – Trends on La Liga (24/02-25/02)

2325

Celta Vigo, Cadiz, and Granada are all trying to move away from the relegation zone.

Will any of the trio be able to pick up vital points in the relegation race this weekend? In the case of Cadiz and Celta Vigo, the pair will play a massive six-point relegation match in round 26.

Granada - Valencia

Valencia won narrowly 1-0 against Valencia earlier this season at Mestalla. It was their second consecutive La Liga win over Granada. However, both wins came at home. Los Che’s last trip to Granada ended in a 1-1.

Los Rojiblancos are 19th in the league and six points off 17th-place Celta Vigo. Granada drew their last three La Liga matches ahead of this weekend’s home fixture with Valencia.

Los Che are winless in their last two games in La Liga. A 2-0 loss to Las Palmas was followed by a nil-nil draw with Sevilla. The goals have dried up for Valencia, as they have now gone 180 minutes of football without scoring.

• Granada CF are unbeaten in 29 of their last 34 home matches in all competitions.
• Valencia CF haven't lost in 18 of their last 20 encounters with Granada CF in all competitions.
• In their 23 most recent matches of all competitions, Granada CF have achieved just 2 wins.
• Valencia CF's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 2 of their 12 most recent away La Liga clashes.
• Prediction: Valencia

Deportivo Alaves - Mallorca

Deportivo Alaves and Mallorca will also play in a relegation six-pointer this weekend. Although Alaves are 12, only 11 points separate them from the drop. A win would certainly see them safe for the season.

Mallorca are unbeaten in their last four games versus Alaves. In the reverse fixture, the Islanders picked up a nil-nil draw at home. However, Mallorca took just five points from the last 18 on offer in the league. Three of their last four games were defeats.

Alaves drew their last two La Liga fixtures. Both games featured fewer than 2.5 goals. Deportivo are not a high-scoring team, with a mere 24 goals in 25 games. This could end up another low-scoring match between the sides.

• Deportivo Alavés have managed to win just 1 of their 13 most recent encounters with Real Mallorca (La Liga).
• Real Mallorca are in an unfortunate period, having won just 5 of their last 30 away matches in all competitions.
• Deportivo Alavés have a good record of 6 undefeated games of their last 7 encounters in La Liga.
• We have seen Real Mallorca concede 1+ goals in their last 8 matches in La Liga.
• Prediction: Deportivo Alaves

Cadiz - Celta Vigo

The big relegation six-pointer sees Cadiz host Celta Vigo. A win would take Cadiz level on points with Celta in the standings. A loss could sink the Yellow Submarine in the race for survival. The teams drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture, with Cadiz having a man sent off.

Cadiz will go into the match following back-to-back defeats. In both games, Cadiz lost by identical 2-0 scores. The Yellow Submarine have scored the fewest goals in La Liga, with a mere 15.

Celta Vigo were supposed to have a renaissance under Rafa Benitez. However, it has been a miserable season for all involved at Celta. The Sky Blues are on a two-game losing streak ahead of the trip to Cadiz. Both matches saw over 2.5 goals.

• Cadiz CF haven't succeeded in scoring a goal in their 5 latest games in all competitions.
• Celta de Vigo have won just 3 of their last 21 away matches in La Liga.
• Cadiz CF have won just 1 of their last 26 matches in all competitions.
• Celta de Vigo have won just 1 of their last 6 encounters in all competitions.
• Prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Las Palmas - Osasuna

Las Palmas and Osasuna met earlier this season for the first time since 2019. The fixture ended 1-1 with the clubs sharing the spoils. Both sides are firmly in midtable ahead of round 26. At the moment, neither team is in danger of relegation.

Las Palmas are ninth, with 35 points. Five points separate the Canaries from sixth place. Las Palmas took 10 points from the last six games, scoring nine goals and conceding eight times.

Osasuna are 11th with 34 points and could go above Las Palmas with a win away from home. Los Rojillos are not one of La Liga’s better away sides. They won just one of their last six away matches. However, Osasuna are in form, with wins in their last two games.

• UD Las Palmas's most recent record of 16 home games in all competitions consists of no losses at half time.
• In their last 10 away games in all competitions, CA Osasuna have a poor record of just 1 wins.
• UD Las Palmas have no losses in 6 of their 7 most recent encounters with CA Osasuna (La Liga).
• CA Osasuna conceded an average of 1.53 goals in their away matches in all competitions.
• Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
