Celta Vigo is hosting Sevilla at Municipal de Balaidos in round 9 of the Spanish LaLiga. Celta is still trying to find themselves this season, but they are a solid team, and still think they will have a decent season. Sevilla has been doing well so far this season, and they will be one of the title contestants if they can keep it up.
Celta is in low 16th place with only 7 points, and even though their defense has been decent, their offense hasn’t been producing much. Celta has scored only 7 goals so far this season. in their last game, Celta was playing against Elche on the road, and they have had 55% of ball possession, 1 shot on goal, 4 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 77% of the correct passes. This was a tough game, and neither team was letting go, but Elche got ahead in the 49th minute, and Celta wasn’t able to come back. Celta has lost this game 1-0. Aspas and Mina have each scored 2 goals for Celta so far this season. The season has started sloppy for Celta, but that is no news for this team, and they can only hope it will get better.
Sevilla has been one of the best teams in the league so far, but they have lost their last game against Granada on the road. Sevilla was the dominant team in that game with 68% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 85% of the correct passes. If you look at the stats, you will think Sevilla has easily won this game, when in fact they lost this game 1-0. As far as the Champions League goes, Sevilla has 2 draws, and they will be playing against Lille next week. Sevilla has been solid on both ends so far with 10 scored goals and only 3 conceded goals, and they are in 4th place with 14 points. En-Nesyri and Lamela have each scored 3 goals for Sevilla, and they will need to keep scoring even more. Because Sevilla is playing in the Champions League next week, and a lot of their key players have just gotten back from South America, and I think coach Lepotegui will be resting some players here, but that doesn’t mean Sevilla will lose this game.
The trends are pretty even here, and we usually see quite a few goals, which will be the case here as well. We are getting the over at a fantastic price, and I will take it.
