Our experts have prepared a forecast and assessed the teams' chances. The best betting options for this confrontation can be found in this material
Command Analysis
Leganes
SpainCurrent form
Following their promotion from the second division, it looked like Leganes would sail through this campaign without any relegation problems as they picked up five points from their opening three games. The Pepineros have since gone winless and have lost four heading into Sunday’s game against Vigo. In total, the hosts are now on an eight-game winless run with only three goals scored in that sequence. Their record at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque hasn’t inspired much confidence either, having failed to score in their last three Primera Division games on their home ground.
Disqualifications and injuries
Garcia, who has a shoulder injury, will not be able to take to the football field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dani Raba marked his return to the Leganes starting line-up with an assist last weekend and also registered two assists in his only career start against Celta.
- Leganes have won more La Liga matches only against Espanyol (four) than against Celta Vigo (three).
Estimated line-up : Soriano - Lopez, Brsanac, Cisse, Cruz - de la Fuente, Saenz, Gonzalez, Guairo - Hernandez, Raba.
Celta Vigo
SpainCurrent form
Celta started strongly, picking up six points from their opening two games, but they also quickly lost focus and their next eight games have yielded just seven points. There were signs of a turnaround after a draw with Girona and back-to-back wins against Las Palmas, but the Sky Blues were unable to maintain their run of form and lost 2-1 at home to Real Madrid last weekend. However, there were mitigating circumstances for the visitors in that defeat – powerhouse midfielder Ilaix Moriba and the club’s all-time leading goalscorer Iago Aspas were suspended.
Disqualifications and injuries
De la Tore (injury) and Jailson (hip injury) will be out.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in 11 of Celta last 13 La Liga matches
- Aspas scored in both head-to-head matches in 2019/20, the last time the sides were in the same division, and he has already contributed to six goals this season.
- Claudio Giraldes' men are hoping to secure their first win at Leganes since the 2016/17 season.
Estimated line-up : Villar - Manquillo, Mingueza, Sverberg, Dominguez - Duran, Beltran, Sotelo, Moriba - Carrera, Aspas.

1.99Tip and bets
Today we do not see a clear favorite in this duel - we expect an equal game. Both teams have problems in defense, which will give chances in attack, while the guests have fantastic statistics this year, when both clubs certainly differ. In addition, in the last face-to-face meeting at this arena in 2019, five goals were scored, which cannot be ruled out today.
Our prediction is both will score and we are betting on it with odds of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Today the opponents are equal in strength and motivation, because the hosts have a chance to get saving points in a game with an equal opponent, and the support of the stands will be decisive. Nevertheless, we believe that the "Celts" will be able to hold out, which is what we will play our bet on. We suggest paying attention to the possibility of a peaceful outcome, which could well suit everyone.
Prediction: draw at 3.30
Bet on a penalty
Both clubs will likely compensate for their lack of technique through fouls and roughness, which will lead to an abundance of set pieces, including a penalty kick. In addition, penalties have been awarded in two of the last four matches.
Prediction - penalty (yes) for 2.85
