Sevilla look to get back on course in La Liga after a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Levante, and the return of key defender Marcao from suspension should provide much-needed stability. Given Celta’s fine form, our prediction firmly points toward a 1-1 draw. The Andalusians have been more competitive at home than on the travels, collecting 1.50 PPG and conceding only 1.25 goals per game, while their 0.92 xGA at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan suggests their defensive structure generally holds up well. Still, scoring remains an issue, with Sevilla failing to hit the net in 50% of their home matches.Celta Vigo, meanwhile, arrive in better form, taking 1.50 PPG both home and away thanks to a balanced approach. Their attack has been particularly effective, averaging 1.33 goals per away match, and they boast an impressive 50% away clean-sheet rate, a sign of improved defensive discipline. Even without Swedberg, Pablo Duran provides a reliable replacement. Celtaâs expected goals numbers away from home (1.56) underline their ability to create chances consistently.
