Celta vs Valladolid Prediction: Why the Hosts are the Favorites?

Prediction for the La Liga Celta vs Valladolid match, which will take place on February 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After two victories over Athletic and Betis, Celta lost 0:1 to Atletico Madrid and drew 1:1 with Real Sociedad on the road. Before the 23rd round, they are 14th in La Liga with 24 points, two more than Cadiz in the relegation zone. The handicap of only two points is insignificant, forcing the Galicians to play for a win in their next matches, especially against their direct rival.

At the end of January and the beginning of February, Valladolid won their matches over Valencia and Real Sociedad by the same 1:0. After that, the visitors tied the game with Osasuna at home and failed on the road to Betis 1:2. Valladolid is 15th in the standings with 24 points. The lag from their opponent consists only of minor indicators. Valladolid's away stats are 16th in the division, +2=1-8, and a 7:21 goal difference. Note that only Cadiz scored less than Valladolid in away matches.

Despite the statistics, we're siding with the hosts in this matchup. We believe that Celta will end their unpleasant winless streak, although the visitors are somewhat an uncomfortable opponent for the Galicians. Celta lacks stability, but they are doing good at home. In the upcoming meeting, they can win. Recently, Celta has been losing points often, but their schedule in the winter of 2023 was also busy. Also, all of Celta's matches in 2023 were under ones.
