Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Tips
Real Sociedad made a statement last weekend by beating Barcelona 2-1 at home, although they remain closer to the bottom three than the top seven before the matchday, according to the points table. That inspiring victory kept Real Sociedad’s unbeaten run in official competitions under Pellegrino Matarazzo alive (3 wins, 1 draw), and they will need to prolong that momentum if they are to close the eight-point gap to the top seven before the matchday. Victories in their last two LaLiga matches allow them to dream of three consecutive wins for the first time since March 2023-2024, but they have only managed one win in their last seven LaLiga matches played on Sunday (3 draws, 3 defeats), so it will not be an easy task.
Celta Vigo are the form team in LaLiga over the last six matchdays, having picked up more points than any other side (5 wins, 1 draw) and kept five clean sheets. Claudio Giráldez’s side have also secured their place in the UEFA Europa League knockout stages after beating Lille 2-1 this week. It is difficult to imagine them losing momentum here, as they have won five of their last six LaLiga away games (1 draw), although four of those victories have been by the narrowest of margins, so it does not look like they will be running riot in this fixture.
