Almeria vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Almeria Form
In their last three matches, Almeria lost 0-2 against Rayo Vallecano, 1-3 against Real Madrid and drew 1-1 with Cadiz. Almeria only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent La Liga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored seven and conceded eight goals.
Almeria’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the La Liga.
Celta Vigo Form
Celta Vigo only managed to gain a single point in their past three games, which kicked off with a 0-2 defeat against Osasuna. A 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad followed, before Real Madrid ran out 0-1 winners. Celta Vigo didn't manage a single away win in their last six La Liga matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded ten and scored three goals themselves.
In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Celta Vigo might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the La Liga looks the most realistic scenario.
Almeria and Celta Vigo are both very focused on not losing currently, and they'd rather nick a point than risk losing all three. The draw is the tasty value bet at Power Horse Stadium this coming Friday.
