Celta Vigo vs Levante Predictions

Celta can down travel sick Levante

Celta Vigo should be backed to get a home victory over Levante on Sunday. The visitors are yet to win away from home in the Primera Liga this season – they have drawn three and lost three on the road – and Celta manager Claudio Giraldez will be hopeful of getting a result against Luis Manuel Ferreira de Castro’s side.

Celta are eight places above Levante in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. Celta are tenth with two wins and three defeats, while Levante are 18th with two wins and five losses.

Levante lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid last weekend in their last Primera Liga outing and could not break their losing run. The result was no surprise, with Atletico Madrid priced at 1/2 to win the game.

Celta Vigo have been prolific in front of goal at home this season, scoring an average of 2.25 goals a game in their four Primera Liga matches against bottom-half teams.

Backing Levante when they have been underdogs this season would have resulted in a 4.35-unit loss, with two wins from their 11 games as an underdog.

Their struggles on the road continue, with nine of their last ten La Liga away games ending without a win. They have not tasted victory in any of their last seven away matches and have lost their last two league games.

The visitors are struggling to score, with Levante disappointing in front of goal away from home this season. They have just three goals in six games on the road, an average of 0.50 goals a game.

The visitors have been poor defensively this season, with Levante unable to keep their opponents at bay in seven straight Primera Liga games. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 16 league matches and have conceded on each of their last three road trips.

Celta Vigo may be able to edge out Levante in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams had scored by the break the last time these two met in the Primera Liga in May.
