The Matchday 35 clash in La Liga between Celta Vigo and Sevilla will take place on May 10 at the Balaidos Stadium in Vigo. Celta Vigo vs. Sevilla: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Celta Vigo
At least six clubs are vying for a spot in the Europa League from the seventh position by the end of the season, and Celta Vigo is among the contenders. It's unlikely they will climb higher, as Real Betis, currently in sixth, has an 11-point lead. Claudio Giraldez's side has slightly diminished their chances of finishing in the European competition zone, having lost 3 of their last 4 league games. The team suffered defeats against Espanyol (0-2), Barcelona (3-4), and Real Madrid (2-3), but managed a home victory over Villarreal with a 3-0 scoreline.
- At least two goals have been scored in Celta's last six La Liga matches.
- Both teams scored in 12 of Celta's last 16 La Liga games.
- The club has not lost in 9 of their last 11 home league matches (7 wins and 2 draws).
Predicted lineup for Celta Vigo (4-4-2)
Vicente Guaita – Javi Rodriguez, Marcos Alonso, Marcos Alonso, Sergio Carreira – Damian Rodriguez, Fran Beltran, Hugo Alvarez, Fernando Gonzalez – Alfonso Gonzalez, Borja Iglesias.
Sevilla
Joaquin Caparros's side has not tasted victory in the league for seven matches. During this winless streak, the team has drawn twice and suffered five defeats. In the last round, Sevilla couldn't hold onto their lead at home against Las Palmas, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Consequently, the team has dropped to 16th place in the standings, now just six points ahead of the nearest relegation zone rival.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 9 of Sevilla's last 10 La Liga games.
- The club has not lost in the second half of their last nine away league matches (3 wins and 6 draws).
- Sevilla has not won the first half in their last nine La Liga matches (6 draws and 3 defeats).
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-3-3)
Orjan Nyland – Kike Salas, Jose Carmona, Loic Bade, Adria Pedrosa – Lucien Agoume, Saul Niguez, Suso – Dodi Lukebakio, Peque Fernandez, Alvaro Pascual.
Defender Jose Carmona will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Celta Vigo vs. Sevilla: Match Prediction
Almost a month has passed since Garcia Pimienta's dismissal, but Sevilla continues to slide down the standings. Joaquin Caparros will manage the team until the end of the season, but even after the coaching change, Sevilla has been unable to start winning in La Liga. I believe the club will drop further down the table, as they face challenging matches against Real Madrid, Villarreal, and a survival battle with Las Palmas.
In my opinion, Celta Vigo will handle such an opponent. The team lost 3 of their last 4 league games, but in two cases, they were defeated by La Liga leaders Real Madrid and Barcelona. The club has a good chance of finishing in seventh place, which is highly contested. This season, Celta has secured 10 wins in 17 home La Liga matches, and in terms of points earned at home, they rank fifth in the league.
My prediction – Celta Vigo to Win
