Celta Vigo vs Real Valladolid Prediction

Los Celestes have suffered two defeats on the trot in the league and will look to bounce back with a win in this home game. Interestingly, they have scored at least two goals in all four games thus far and are expected to continue their goalscoring form here. They are unbeaten in La Liga home meetings against Valladolid in the 21st century and are strong favorites.

Javier Manquillo has a thigh injury and is not an option for this match. Mihailo Ristic was injured in the campaign opener and remains sidelined alongside Carlos Dominguez, who picked up a knock against Osasuna. Williot Swedberg faces a late fitness test.

Pucelanos are winless in their last three league games, conceding 10 goals without scoring, and will look to improve upon that record. They have failed to score in five of their last six league outings, which is a cause for concern.

Iván Sánchez has recovered from his injury and should return to the starting XI in this match. Javi Sánchez, André Ferreira, Robert Kenedy and Anuar Tuhami are sidelined due to injuries.

Considering the home advantage for Celta and their better goalscoring record, we back the hosts to register a comfortable win.
