CELTA VIGO – VALENCIA PREDICTION (12.01.2017)

A striking match on Thursday is the one held by Celta and Valencia for a new round of the Copa del Rey (return).

In my opinion, the Galician box is a favorite because of the offensive potential it possesses and above all because of the local factor of Balaídos. However, if we consider that the key is practically solved, we advise you to play a few euros to the bet “both teams score”. Remember that “che” could risk honor and have nothing to lose, being able to score at least one goal. Of course, they would leave spaces that would be well taken advantage of by the Galicians.

Take into account that Celta comes from beating 3-1 to Málaga as a local in Balaídos, totaling 24 units in total. Thanks to this win, he placed in the ninth place of the table and cut a streak of 3 games without winning (1 tie and 2 losses in a row). It remains an offensive set by nature.

On the other hand do not forget that the Galician coach has already the tie almost in the pocket, to thrashing 1-4 to Valencia in the round disputed in Mestalla. Their objective will be to liquidate the series and try to add another triumph more like local. Despite the unconscious relaxation, we think he could score a goal at least.

Continuing with the analysis you should know that Valencia does not have a good time in the Spanish tournament, registering only 13 units and being one step away from the direct descent. He has won 3 draws and 2 losses in his last 5 appearances, ratifying his bad collective and emotional moment. He comes from equaling 3-3 against Osasuna in Pamplona, a match that could win when receiving the parity in the minute 92 ‘.

Now to finish we tell you that the squad “che” will play this exit for a matter of honor, losing 1-4 the first leg to their people. Try to score a goal at least or maybe two to be able to close the tie in a dignified manner. It has players in attack to be able to do it, being its main problem the defense.

In front of this panorama I play for the bet “both teams score” due to the following reasons: First because the two teams are offensive by nature, being also known for not having solid defenses. Second because Celta is an intense team when he acts in Balaídos, standing out for almost always scoring a goal against his people. And third because Valencia will risk a little to have nothing to lose, trying not to make another paperón more. Faced with this reality, we believe that the game can finish 1-1 or 2-2, not ruling out a 2-1 victory for any side.
