Celta Vigo vs Real Valladolid Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

Celta Vigo were arguably the surprise package of La Liga last season, but how they perform this year might well depend on how the team adjusts to the loss of Nolito, who joined Manchester City earlier in the summer.

By contrast, it was a disappointing campaign for Real Valladolid, who finished in the bottom half of Spain’s second tier, ending up just four points above the relegation zone.

Pre-season has only just got under way for Real Valladolid, with a 2-0 victory against Toledo kicking off their preparations for the new campaign, while Celta Vigo beat Deportivo La Coruña 2-1 but have lost to both Lugo and Nacional in the last couple of weeks.

Celta Vigo’s class should shine in this game however, with the gulf between the sides likely to be reasonably big for this match, although fitness improvements are the primary goal for both teams.

We are expecting the hosts to get off to a good start in the game, so Celta Vigo/Celta Vigo HT/FT at 7/5 with bet365 is our tip, while we also like the look of Celta Vigo to Win 3-1 at 14/1 from the correct scores market, with that bet also available with bet365.
