Celta Vigo Preview – Can Celta pick up the three points?
It has been fine form from Celta Vigo recently as they have put together a five-match unbeaten streak.
They have won four of those five, earning a draw at Getafe in their most recent match just before Christmas.
It is a W4 L3 record that they have taken from their home form this campaign and they are currently on a three-match winning streak there.
Celta Vigo are at 3/4 in the match outright for the win* (odds recorded 2019 GMT Tuesday, 29th December).
They have shipped just one goal in their last three home games in La Liga only. In attack, they are averaging 1.7 goals per home game.
It may be worth having a look at a high-scoring game cropping up in football betting in this one.
That’s because 71% of Celta Vigo’s home games this season have made it over the 2.5 goal margin.
Over 2.5 goals for this one is at 10/11* (odds recorded 2019 GMT Tuesday, 29th December).
Of the five wins that Celta Vigo have recorded in league action this season, all but one have been by at least a two-goal margin.

Huesca Preview – Can Huesca find an away win?
Sitting second from bottom in the league, Huesca have some work to do. It has been just one win all season for them.
That lone success happened at home against Alaves in mid-December.
Their overall away form is at W0 D5 L3 so with all those drawn games there, they have shown some resilience.
That is despite them having conceded an average of two goals per away game. On the other side of the coin, Huesca are averaging a goal per road fixture.
They have collected just one clean sheet on their travels in this campaign.
It’s likely their defensive record that makes them the big risk here. They are a not too appealing 15/4 underdog* (odds recorded 2019 GMT Tuesday, 29th December).
All three of the away losses that have come Huesca’s way this season have been against teams in the top ten currently.
