Valencia vs Celta: forecast for the Spanish Championship match

In the upcoming La Liga match between Valencia and Celta, you can expect a productive game with plenty of scoring chances. Both teams have problems defensively, but they have an attacking potential that can lead to a high performance meeting. Valencia, despite the setbacks in the season, traditionally plays aggressively at home. It will be especially important for them to rehabilitate themselves after the crushing defeat by Barcelona. 

The team regularly creates chances at the Mestalla, and in the last home match they managed to defeat Real Sociedad (1-0), which underlines their ability to find the keys to the opponent's defense. Celta, in turn, shows an unstable defensive game and often makes mistakes. The visitors have lost seven of their last nine away La Liga matches against clubs in the Valencia region, often conceding two or more goals. However, Celta's attacking line is still capable of causing problems for the defense of the hosts, especially considering their results in face-to-face meetings: in the last three matches between Valencia and Celta, both teams scored at least one goal each. Both sides need points and are unlikely to play cautiously. The open style of the match and the defensive problems of both teams make it logical to bet on a high total of goals.

Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals. We bet on this outcome with a coefficient of 1.90

Betting on the outcome

The match at the Mestalla between Valencia and Celta could be a great opportunity for the hosts to consolidate their position in the standings. Despite the unstable season, Valencia shows character in their home matches and strives to use the home stadium factor. In the last game at the Mestalla, they managed to beat the strong Real Sociedad (1-0), which underlines their ability to achieve results in front of their fans. Celta, in turn, is experiencing serious difficulties on the road. The visitors have not won in the last six away matches of La Liga, and they also traditionally play poorly against teams from the Valencia region, having lost seven of the last nine meetings. In addition, Celta is approaching this match with personnel losses, which may affect their game. Historically, Valencia feels confident in their home matches against Celta, and in this match they have every chance to succeed again.

Our forecast is a victory for Valencia. We bet on this with a coefficient of 2.40

Betting on statistics

The match is expected to be active, as both teams are experiencing defensive problems and are striving for aggressive play in attack. Valencia always relies on pressure at the Mestalla, which leads to a lot of shots on target. In recent home matches, the hosts have averaged more than four shots on target per game. Celta, despite their poor away results, also creates chances. In the last five away games, they have shot on target at least three times. In addition, this season, Celta is actively using long-range shots, which increases the likelihood of hitting the target. Both teams are in a situation where points are extremely important to them, which means that we can expect a double-edged game with many attempts to shoot at the goal.

The forecast is for shots on target to exceed 8.5. This option can be found for a factor of 1.95
