Cadiz vs Celta Vigo Prediction and Betting Tips

La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as relegation-threatened Cadiz and Celta Vigo go head-to-head on Sunday (February 25) at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla.

Cadiz failed to stop the rot in their last outing, suffering a 2-0 defeat to Osasuna at the El Sadar Stadium on Saturday. Mauricio Pellegrino’s men have gone 14 games without a win across competitions, losing seven, since a 2-0 friendly win over Atlético Sanluqueno in November.

Their underwhelming campaign has largely been owing to their lack of firepower in the final third, where they have scored the fewest goals (15) this season in the league.

Celta, meanwhile, were left empty handed, falling to a 2-1 loss at home to Barcelona last weekend in their previous outing. Rafael Benítez’s side have lost five of their last six games across competitions, with a 3-0 win at Osasuna on February 4 being the exception.

With 20 points from 25 games, Celta are 17th in the league, three points above Cadiz in the relegation zone.

Cadiz vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Considering recent results between the two teams, expect a cagey affair. Given the stakes involved, the two sides could cancel out each other in a low-scoring stalemate.
