Getafe and Celta Vigo to end all square
On Monday night, Getafe host Celta Vigo at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in La Liga, as both look to keep their hopes of European football for next season alive.
Both teams can still realistically finish La Liga’s top six, as tenth-place Celta are just five points behind Villarreal who occupy the last European spot in the Spanish top-flight. Getafe are just two points further behind, so both could still be contenders for continental football next season.
Getafe heads into this clash unbeaten in five games in La Liga. However, the team based near the countries capital have drawn their last four games in the Spanish top-flight, which has hampered their chances of moving up the table.
Jose Bordalas’ team have been involved in a lot of low scoring games of late in La Liga, with ten of their last 11 league games producing under 2.5 goals.
The home side are unbeaten in eight home games in La Liga, having won five of the games in the process. Their recent home games in the Spanish top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games on home soil.
Celta Vigo have been enjoying a steady La Liga campaign. A three-game winning run in the Spanish top-flight ended with a defeat against Alaves before a 2-2 home draw against Espanyol last time out.
Juan Carlos Unzue’s side have been involved in a number of high scoring games of late, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last four games in the Spanish top-flight.
Celta have a mixed recent away record in La Liga. However, the visitors have won just three of their last eight away games in the Spanish top-flight. Their recent away games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in 16 of their last 17 games on their travels in La Liga.
Forebet predicts that this game will end all square, which will do neither team’s chances of making the top-six much good.
