Preview

Celta de Vigo

• Celta are winless in their last 5 matches, D3 L2, and average just 0.50 goals per home match in LaLiga 2026/2027.
• Celta come in off the back of a 2-0 home defeat to Athletic Bilbao in their previous LaLiga 2026/2027 match and a 0-0 draw away at Real Sociedad.

Málaga CF

• Málaga are winless away from home in LaLiga 2026/2027 with 2 defeats from 2 trips and have conceded 6 away goals.
• Málaga have had a mixed bag of results to start LaLiga 2026/2027 with a 2-0 away loss at Atlético Madrid followed by a 1-1 home draw with Deportivo A Coruña and then a 4-0 defeat at Real Madrid.
• Málaga's last 5 games in all competitions have produced no wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

Key Players

• Miguel Roman has been their creator in chief with 1 assist in 4 games, while Iago Aspas, the most senior player in the dressing room, tops their LaLiga 2026/2027 goals list with 1.
• Chupe is their leading scorer in the league in 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 3 appearances and Adrián Niño has supplied two of their six goals in the last five games with 2 assists.

Betting Insights

• Celta should win this on the numbers and are a low odds 1.7 to do so while Málaga are 5.0 and the Draw 3.5.
• But Os Celestes are unlikely to blow the visitors away and the Under 2.5 goals bet at 1.73 looks the standout wager, with Both Teams to Score - No at 1.77 also matching a cagey script that would probably suit the visitors.

Prediction

• Two winless clubs face off in Spain when Celta de Vigo take on Málaga CF at Abanca Balaidos on Sunday and the hosts will probably need to be at their best to claim a victory.
• Juan Funes has done a decent job since taking the helm in November 2025, backing his young players to play with a bravery and a directness that was missing from the Blanquiazules before he came in.
