Our experts have assessed the teams' chances and the best betting options for this confrontation

Command Analysis

Sevilla

Current form
Sevilla have had a tough start to the new season and have not been playing their best football so far. The team has been plagued by injuries to key players such as Loic Bade and Albert Sambi Lokonga, weakening the midfield. Antoine Griezmann injury-time goal saw Sevilla lose 4-3 to Atletico Madrid in the previous round of La Liga. It means that after nine consecutive seasons (2013/14 - 2021/22) in the top eight after the first 16 games, Sevilla have now recorded a third consecutive season in the bottom half of the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Currently out are Ejuke (muscle injury), Nianjou (knee injury) and Pedrosa (muscle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last 13 head-to-head meetings in all competitions, the team that scores first has always won
- Sevilla young defender Juanlu Sanchez recently showed his talent for goals by scoring in consecutive games for the first time in his La Liga career
Tentative line-up: Niland - Sanchez, Niangzou, Martinez, Suso - Bueno, Carmona, Sou - Lukebakio, Romero.

Celta Vigo

Current form
Celta are stuck in the middle of the La Liga table, halfway between the European places and the relegation zone. They are having a tough season and are winless in their last six league games. However, their home performance at the Balaidos stadium has been more consistent, where they have won four of their last six games, losing only to teams in the top three. This match against Sevilla will be a good opportunity for the Celts to show their competitiveness, especially considering they have yet to beat a team above them in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jailson (hip injury) will not be able to help the team.
Interesting trends for betting
Iago Aspas has been involved in goals in five of his eight meetings with Sevilla, but has only managed to celebrate victory once.
Only Valladolid lads (22) have conceded more than Celta 18 away league goals this season.
Probable lineup: Villar - Manquillo, Mingueza, Sverberg, Dominguez - Moriba, Beltran, Jailson, Rodriguez - Aspas, Iglesias

1.88Tip and bets
Sevilla have shown improvement in their attacking performance in recent games, despite their general defensive problems. For example, they have scored several goals in matches against weaker teams, which indicates an increase in their efficiency. Celta also have good attacking moments, especially in matches against weaker opponents, where they often create many threats near the opponent’s goal. This can lead to a large number of dangerous moments and goals. Thus, despite the fact that both teams play cautiously, the probability that the match will end in a high-scoring result due to their attacking ambitions and weaknesses in defense is quite high.
Our forecast is total over 2.5 goals and we bet on it for 2.12
Bet on the outcome
Sevilla are in good form at the moment, especially at home. The team has gained confidence in attack, despite problems in defense. In the upcoming match against Celta, they will be looking for a win to improve their position in the table. At home, the Red and Whites show confident results, especially against teams that do not have bright attacking potential like Celta. The team will also be motivated to get three points to strengthen their chances of European competition. We expect the hosts to control the game and ultimately win with a minimal advantage.
Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) for Sevilla and we bet on it with odds of 3.55
Corner Prediction
The battle in the centre of the pitch is expected to result in many set pieces, especially when breaking through the flanks. Both teams, especially Sevilla, will be actively trying to create chances near the opponent goal, which should result in a large number of corners. Due to the possible attacks of both teams and the moderate dynamics of the match, the total of corners over 8.5 looks justified.
Forecast - total corners over 8.5 for 1.63
