The LaLiga season has been going with an excellent battle at the top between the always present Real Madrid and the surprising Girona. Now, the latter must overcome another challenge in the form of a complicated Celta de Vigo, desperate to escape the ghost of relegation.
The locals come from two losses in a row against the same rival, Real Sociedad. The first one was 0-1 in the league, and the second was 1-2 for the Copa del Rey.
The Catalans achieved an excellent 5-1 win over Sevilla in the last matchday but fell today against Mallorca for the Copa del Rey in a game where they rotated a lot.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Celta De Vigo?
Celta is a team accustomed to fighting in the lower ends of the standings, with scarce good seasons in between campaigns fighting against relegation. However, they have escaped demotion since 2012, so in the end, we can say that these last years have been good for the club.
In the current campaign, they carry three wins, eight draws, and ten losses record. At times, the club displays a beautiful style, appropriate for a Spanish team, but their defense is leaky (31), and their attack is unremarkable (21), so they don’t have the tools to play like that.
Their two losses in a row against Real Sociedad probe that they are a class below the teams at the top of the table. However, seeing Almería’s performance in the last two weeks, there is hope that everything could change.
Why Bet on Girona?
Girona’s remarkable season suffered a setback just a few hours ago, as Mallorca surprisingly eliminated them in a Copa del Rey edition where teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid are already out of the picture. However, looking at the starting line-up, it’s clear that their focus was always on LaLiga. Even so, they came somewhat close to achieving a comeback with two second-half goals that followed a disastrous first part.
Their 16 wins, four draws, and one loss record show a team that is a class apart, except Real Madrid who, realistically speaking, should be first in the table. Their not-that-good defense (25) is balanced by their excellent attack (51), the best in LaLiga.
Against Sevilla, they had no compassion, so with all the weapons on the field, this is a team to be feared, no doubt.
Final Betting Analysis: Celta de Vigo vs. Girona
Girona’s stats with most first-division clubs are short and recent, as the team was a lower-division misfit until the City Group came in. Against this rival, it’s not the exception, as they have faced just 16 times in their history. In those games, seven wins went to the Galicians, five to the Catalans, and there were four draws.
In their last game, for the first leg of LaLiga 23/24, Girona got the triumph with a solitary goal in the second half at its home. Now, the scenery is different, as the Red and Whites want to consolidate as a powerhouse, and this kind of game is a must-win. We believe a 1-2 will be the final result.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.58. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $158 for a total payout of $258.
