Celta Vigo Preview – Lack of home form from Celta
It hasn’t been a great season for Celta Vigo at all in La Liga, especially at home.
They have posted a W1 L4 record on home turf in the top flight.
Three of those four defeats have come against teams who are currently in the top eight.
In the match outright for football betting, Celta Vigo are the 17/10 underdogs* (odds recorded 18:51 GMT October 26th 2021).
Looking at their form on paper it has been better recently.
Celta Vigo have gone W3 L2 in their last five, which are the only victories of the campaign for them.
However, each of those wins were against teams who are currently in the bottom five including the bottom two of Getafe or Levante.
From their five home games, Celta Vigo have produced just three goals and they have conceded an average of 1.2 goals.
In last season’s corresponding fixture, Celta Vigo were heavily beaten 1-4 by Sociedad.
Interestingly, three of the last four meetings between the two clubs have been won by the away side on the day.
But across those four matches, Celta are W1 L3 in their most recent games against Real Sociedad.
Celta Vigo have lost three of their last four home La Liga fixtures against this opponent.
In none of their home games in this campaign have Celta Vigo been leading at the half time break.
They have yet to score a first half goal at home.
So the Draw/Real Sociedad HT/FT punt may be worth a play at 11/2* (odds recorded 18:51 GMT October 26th 2021).
Real Sociedad Preview – League leaders in control?
After their thrilling 2-2 away at Atletico Madrid on the weekend, Real Sociedad clung on to the top spot in La Liga.
Their season opened on a sour note, losing 4-2 at Barcelona.
But it has been nothing but positives for them since, going undefeated in nine league fixtures (W6 D3).
Real Sociedad have been stronger on home turf than they have been on their travels, however.
It is a W2 D2 L1 record that they have taken away from home.
But they have been scoring consistently well, Sociedad having hit the back of the net at least twice in all but one away game.
It has been an average of two goals per away game from them, which is way above their goal scoring output at home.
In the match outright for La Liga football betting, the win for Real Sociedad is at a quote of 8/5* (odds recorded 18:51 GMT October 26th 2021).
They certainly on paper look the more likely of the two to collect the victory.
