Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Spanish La Liga on Saturday, 18 February 2023.
Sociedad are the best in the Spanish top flight this season – barring the two titans Barcelona, and Real Madrid. They definitely are going after a podium spot this season.
Meanwhile, Celta are struggling to make an impact in the league so far. All they have to show for their efforts is six wins.
Sociedad recorded a 1-2 win on the road in the reverse fixture, and they are also on a five-game winning streak – that stretches back three years. Do also note that the hosts have a 100% winning record at home in the past five years – barring a single fixture.
As mentioned, Sociedad have a superb h2h record against this rival, and especially so at this venue. On top of that, they have easily been the best team in the league barring Real Madrid and Barelona.
On the other hand, Celta have just two league wins to their name on the road since August, and one of these even came against the dead-last placed Elche.
It surely looks like hosts Sociedad are about to deliver a winning performance.
The reverse fixture was a three-goal affair, and so were three of the past five h2h meetings. On top of that, Sociedad scored three goals in their latest game, while their counterparts for the day let in three or more goals in six of their past twelve road trips.
Chances are quite high for goals to come in plenty this Saturday.
Sociedad kept clean sheets in seven of their past eleven overall games, and did the same in two of their past four appearances at home. Moreover, they managed to do the same in two of the previous three clean sheets too.
As such, the possibility of both teams scoring goals is low this weekend.
Sociedad are currently in pursuit of a podium spot, and are deservedly placed third in the table. They won eight of their last eleven overall fixtures, and also are on a five-game winning streak in h2h clashes against this opponent.
Meanwhile, Celta won just twice on the road since August, and one of these wins came against the 20th placed Elche.
They surely are the underdogs this weekend, and as such, Real Sociedad to Win at an odd of 1.90 would be a neat pick.
Going on, Sociedad scored three goals in the latest h2h encounter, and consistently found the back of the net during the course of this league season. On the other hand, Celta conceded three or more goals in six of their past twelve road trips as well.
Likely, the Over 1.5 Team Goals by Real Sociedad would be a good choice for this weekend.
