Celta Vigo vs Granada Prediction

Celta Vigo Form

Celta Vigo have three draws to show from their last three games, as Valencia held on to a 0-0 draw. Against Cadiz, the score was 1-1, while their most recent match finished 0-0 against Rayo Vallecano. Celta Vigo are without a win in their last six La Liga matches on home soil, which produced a record of four draws and two defeats, in which they conceded nine and scored five goals.

Granada Form

A single point prevents Granada from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 3-1 and 2-0 against Deportivo Alaves and Real Madrid, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao. Granada came through their last six away games in the La Liga without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew one and lost five in which, they were outscored by 12 goals to four.

The draw could easily be picked out as the value bet this coming Saturday, since Celta Vigo have settled for a stalemate quite often recently. Granada could also be satisfied with a point at Abanca Balaidos.

Celta Vigo won five points from their last four encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won one, scored five and let in five goals.
