Celta de Vigo
- Celta de Vigo welcome Rayo Vallecano to Balaidos on Sunday afternoon as both clubs look to extend current winning streaks of two games.
- Celta’s two wins in a row were a 1-0 victory at Sevilla last weekend and a 4-1 victory at home to Valencia last weekend.
- Celta, who are seventh in the LaLiga 2025-2026 table with 29 points from 19 games, have won two, drawn five and lost three of their ten home games this season.
Rayo Vallecano
- Rayo have also won two matches in a row after beating Real Mallorca 2-1 in LaLiga at home and Granada 3-1 away in the Copa del Rey.
- Rayo have 22 points, seven fewer than Celta, and are 10th in the league.
- They have won three, drawn one and lost six of their away LaLiga 2025-2026 games, conceding an average of 1.60 goals per game on their travels, which isn’t great.
Head-to-Head
Celta have failed to win any of their last two home games against Rayo and this is always a tough fixture for the Galicians.
Key Players
- Borja Iglesias leads the line for Celta with seven goals in 18 appearances and has been in form with three goals in his last five.
- Rayo’s best player and top scorer Jorge de Frutos has six goals in 17 games and is their most potent attacking threat.
Betting Insights
- Celta are favourites here at 2.15 and Rayo are the underdogs at 3.5, but we like the visitors’ chances of getting a result.
- Both teams to score looks good at 1.8 but the Under 2.5 goals looks better at 1.62.
Prediction
we think Rayo can keep it close but ultimately Celta , with the better league form and home-field advantage, should nick it.
