Celta de Vigo vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Preview

#### Preview The Spanish La Liga returns this weekend with an intriguing encounter between Celta de Vigo and Real Sociedad at Estadio de Balaídos. The hosts, coached by Rafael Benítez Maudes, are currently 16th in the league table with a total of 17 points from their first 20 games.

Meanwhile, Imanol Alguacil Barrenetxea's Real Sociedad sit comfortably in sixth place with 32 points. In their last five head-to-head matches against Celta de Vigo, Los Blancos have managed three wins and two draws.

In the reverse fixture on August 19th at Reale Arena, both teams shared a point following a goalless draw (Real Sociedad 1-1 Celta). The last time these sides met in Galicia resulted in a 2-0 victory for Real Sociedad. However, their opponents have averaged scoring one goal per game and conceding just under one goal on average when playing at home.

Celta de Vigo's recent form has seen them secure two victories, lose once, and draw twice from their last five matches. In contrast, Real Sociedad managed only a single win in the same period while losing another game and drawing three times. The teams' goal averages suggest that both sides may struggle to find the back of the net frequently.

The bookmakers have priced Celta de Vigo at 3.1 for this encounter, with Real Sociedad being favored at 2.5. A draw is available at 3.4. The odds on over 2.5 goals are set at 2.5 and under 2.5 goals at 1.5.

Bet

Given the teams' recent form, their goal averages when playing at home/away, as well as the value in the odds provided by bookmakers, a draw could be an attractive option for this matchup (3.4). However, it is essential to remember that football can often surprise us with unexpected results and upsets.
