Celta vs Real Sociedad Prediction: Betting on a seventh consecutive Basque victory

Sunday's pool of the ninth round of the Spanish championship will open with a match between Celta and Real Sociedad. In this encounter, the bookmakers have not revealed a clear favourite.

Since the defeat of Cadiz, Celta has played four games in the Spanish championship, losing three of them with one win over Betis. In this period, they were weaker than Atlético, Valencia, and Barcelona. Celta is 11th in the league table with 10 points. Celtic's home statistics are 7th in the league, +2=1-1, and 7:6 goal difference.

The Basques are winning their last six games, three in the Europa League and three in La Liga. The Royal Blues were stronger in the championship than Espanyol, Girona, and Villarreal. Despite their excellent recent performance, the Basques are still outside the Champions League competitions, behind Atletico on goal difference. The away stats for Real Sociedad are fourth in the division, +3=0-1, and 8:5 goal difference.

A pair of Celta and Real Sociedad is probably challenging to call the top, as TO (3.5) in the last six games has been reached only once; we believe this total won't be achieved in the upcoming match either. As for the outcome, we're on the visitors' side of the pair. In contrast to Celta, they are very stable and are not at all worried about playing on two fronts. We believe that the Basques will not lose on Sunday. At least, we would not be surprised if they win in a not-very-productive match.
