Celta Vigo vs Sevilla Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions

SPAIN: LALIGA – ROUND 12

Date: 05 November 2023, Sunday

Kick-off at 20:30 EAT

Venue: Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo)

Celta Vigo’s centenary year continues to be marred by struggles, ending the last round in La Liga’s relegation zone after a 1-0 loss to high-flying Girona. Their decision to offer a three-year contract to legendary manager Rafael Benítez is now under scrutiny, especially since he claimed to have turned down more lucrative offers for Celta.

Benítez was expected to transform last season’s mid-table team into a contender for their first European appearance since 2016/17. However, they are currently at risk of ending their 12-season stay in the top-flight, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 consecutive league games. While Benítez had reason to be frustrated with VAR decisions, including an 83rd-minute disallowed goal against Girona, it doesn’t excuse their defensive woes.

Sevilla understands the challenges their upcoming opponents face, having found themselves in a similarly dire situation in October 2022. They’ve opted for a familiar approach to address their struggles, parting ways with manager José Luis Mendilibar, who had previously guided them to survival and a UEFA Europa League title. His replacement, Diego Alonso, is yet to secure a competitive win in charge, with two draws and one loss, including a recent 2-2 draw against Cádiz.

Sevilla has come back from two-goal deficits to salvage draws in two of their last three La Liga games, but Alonso deems such results as insufficient. He and the traveling fans are eager for their first away victory of the season in La Liga, although they’ve struggled against lower-ranked clubs like Alavés (4-3 loss) and Cádiz. Expectations for a successful outcome may be tempered..
