Levante vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this La Liga scrap between Levante and Celta Vigo. Two sides stuck in the mud near the bottom of the table, but there's a story to tell here.

Levante are having a right old time of it at home. Zero wins in their last four matches on their own patch, and get this - they're shipping three goals per game at home! That's not just bad, that's pub league defending. They did put four past Girona recently, but that was away from home where they actually look half decent.

Celta Vigo, on the other hand, are the draw specialists of La Liga. Seven draws in ten games, but here's the stat that catches my eye - they've scored in NINE out of their last ten matches! That's 90% for those keeping score at home. They're also hard to beat with just one loss in ten.

When these two have met before, both teams have found the net in 7 out of 9 matches. And looking at the recent form, Levante are scoring 1.3 per game while Celta are netting 1.4. With Levante's home defence being about as solid as a chocolate teapot, you can see where this is going.

The odds for both teams to score are sitting at 1.62, which looks about right to me. Levante will likely score in front of their own fans (they average 1.25 goals at home), but their back door is swinging wide open for Celta to have a go too.

This has got 2-1 or 2-2 written all over it. Both teams need the points, both teams can score, and Levante's home form suggests goals are coming at both ends.
