Celta Vigo looking to go sixth in table with win over Leganes

Celta Vigo has endured a difficult season so far in La Liga but can jump into sixth place with a victory over Leganes on Friday night. However, despite Leganes’ lowly position in the standings, they are unlikely to be a pushover as they have finally begun to find their form and start climbing the table away from the relegation danger.

SHARK BITES
  • Celta Vigo has won its last two outings in La Liga.
  • Leganes is unbeaten in its last five league outings.
  • Both sides have won twice in the four previous meetings between these two teams.

Celta Vigo vs Leganes Game Center

Celta can push on with win over Leganes

A lack of consistency has blighted Celta Vigo’s domestic campaign over the Sportsbook months of the season, and two losses in a row has immediately been followed by two successive victories. As a result, the club sits 11th in the table, with five wins, five draws and five defeats from 15 games. Such is the closeness of the league this year, however, that a win could move them up to sixth on Friday night.

Leganes, meanwhile, is making improvements after a dreadful start to the season. The club is unbeaten in its last five and sits in 16th place in the table, just three points above the relegation zone. They will hope to extend their unbeaten run against a side that has a leaky defensive backline.

However, it is Celta Vigo that comes into this game as the clear favorite to pick up a third win on the bounce. You can back the home side to take all three points at just -125, while Leganes is all the way out at +350 to do the same. A draw is priced in the middle at +250.

Celta to climb table with win

Given Celta’s last two results in La Liga, we are expecting them to complete a hat trick of triumphs on Friday night. While it can be tough at times when trying to predict exact scorelines in football games, a comfortable 3-1 win for Celta is priced competitively at +1400 and could be worth a bet.

Such a result would then allow you to back OVER 2.5 goals in the game, which comes in at +110, as well as both teams to score, which is priced short at -106. If you are looking to give any potential winnings from this match a boost, then you may well consider combo betting, which allows you to select multiple outcomes in the same game at higher odds.

For example, a combo bet of a Celta Vigo win, coupled with both teams to score, is at the much higher price of +333, while a home victory and OVER 2.5 goals in the game is at +210. OVER 2.5 goals and both teams to score is priced at +150, all at higher odds than single outcome bets.

Goals and entertainment should be In the cards

Given Celta’s habit of leaking goals – they are currently conceding at a rate of over 1.5 goals per game – we are expecting plenty of entertainment in this one. You can back Celta to win to nil (without Leganes scoring a goal) at +200, but we consider this outcome unlikely given Celta’s recent record.

Betting on goals would look to be the safer option, with Celta at +200 to score in both halves and double that price (+450) to actually go out and win both halves. The home side is at the much shorter price of just -225 to win either half.

In terms of goalscorers, Spain international Iago Aspas is at the shortest odds. The Celta striker is at just +125 to net at any time while Maximiliano Gomez, who was on the scoresheet last week against Villarreal, is at +137 to net during the 90 minutes, and +400 to score either the first or the last goal of the match.

Leganes looks to be on the road to recovery, but that is likely to come to an end on Friday night. Celta is in fine form and we are fully expecting that to continue.
