Celta Vigo vs Sevilla Betting Tips

That is despite a heavy 4-0 defeat away to Sevilla on Thursday in the 1st Leg of their Copa del Rey Semi-Final. The Andalusians produced a 2nd half master-class to crush Celta Vigo with Kevin Gameiro again their biggest threat. The Frenchman scored twice to take his season tally to 16 and secure a 12th consecutive home win for Sevilla.

Given they have been so dominant on home soil it is hard to make any sense of their away form. They are a totally different side on the road and are yet to pick up an away win in the league this season and this will be their 11th attempt. Given that it’s hard to understand why they are clear favourites for the win here against a Celta Vigo side that are 7th and having a good season.

The Galicians have been wobbling a bit but surely odds of 8/13 for them to avoid defeat at home to a side that is yet to win away represents good value. Barring miracles the Copa del Rey tie between the pair which concludes again at Balaídos on Thursday is already over so the significance of this match becomes greater.

A win for Celta would take them above Sevilla and they would close ground on at least one of Villarreal and Athletic given the pair meet on Saturday. They need to get back to being a bit more solid after a poor start to 2016 in the league but as their 3-2 cup win at Atletico Madrid demonstrated on their day they are a match for anyone and we should at least see a much-improved performance on their Copa del Rey outing on Thursday.

With Sevilla struggling on the road, Celta should be able to sneak a point so consider backing this to finish 1-1 at 5/1.
