Predictions & Betting Tips

Celta’s class should shine at the Coliseum

Celta de Vigo can edge out a tight contest when they face Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Saturday. Claudio Giráldez’s side have been in much better form than the home side, winning three of their past five and losing twice. Giráldez, who took over in March 2024, has overseen an attacking resurgence at the club and his commitment to flowing, wide football has turned Celta into La Liga’s fifth-best attacking side with 25 goals in 18 away games. They are a potent attack on their day, but their away record of four wins, four draws and ten defeats this season means you have to be cautious about this Getafe vs Celta de Vigo prediction. Getafe, who are 13th in the table with 42 points from 37 games, are a much less offensive team than Celta and Pepe Bordalás has instilled a real defensive grit and pragmatic approach to their game since taking charge in April 2023.

Bordalás’ pragmatism can frustrate Celestes

Their home form has been poor, however, with only four wins from 18 La Liga fixtures in 2024-2025 (7 draws, 7 defeats). They have failed to win in their past two outings at this ground, losing 0-2 to Athletic Bilbao before grabbing a rare away win with a 1-2 success at Mallorca. This clash of styles should be a fascinating tactical battle that is likely to go down to the wire. The Getafe vs Celta de Vigo preview suggests Celta de Vigo’s direct, transition-based attack should test the patience of Getafe’s disciplined and compact back four and midfield line while Celta de Vigo’s creative play down the flanks may cause issues for the home defence. Mauro Arambarri is Getafe’s most dangerous attacker, having scored 10 La Liga goals from midfield this term, but Celta’s Borja Iglesias has been just as prolific, netting 10 in 36 league appearances and being ruthless when chances fall his way.

Back the underdog for the win

Getafe have averaged just 0.78 goals per game at home in La Liga this term, scoring only 14 times in 18 games. The Getafe vs Celta de Vigo prediction from several analysts is that Celta are the bookmakers’ favorite at -109, which looks fair enough, while Getafe are a sizeable underdog at +310. Celta, who are seventh in La Liga with 52 points from 37 matches, are pushing hard for a Europa League berth and that should make this a serious game. Our Getafe vs Celta de Vigo betting tips suggest that the visitors have won 4, drawn 4 and lost 10 of their 18 road games, however, so we will take the underdog at the double chance and ‘Under 2.5 goals’ at -125 also appeals given the recent scoring trends of both sides.
