Celta vs Sevilla: La Liga Prediction (10.05.2025)

On Saturday, May 10 at 21:15 WIB, local football club Celta will host Sevilla at the Balaídos Stadium in Vigo in Matchday 35 of the 2024–2025 Spanish La Liga season. The home team is defending seventh place in the league table from Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna, and Mallorca, who trail by just two points. This position grants a spot in next season’s UEFA Europa League. The visitors, meanwhile, sit in 16th place, six points above Las Palmas, who are currently in the relegation zone with four rounds remaining.

Let’s make a prediction for the Celta vs Sevilla match, considering both teams still have strong motivation in the standings. Bookmakers list the hosts as the favorites. A bet on the “Celts” to win comes with odds of 1.83, a draw at 3.78, and a Sevilla win at 4.40. The over 2.5 goals market is at 2.01, indicating that analysts are not expecting a highly prolific match. The odds for both teams to score are set at 1.90.

Celta

Claudio Geraldes’ team has lost three of their last four matches. The paradox is that Celta put up a real fight away against Barcelona (3–4) and Real Madrid (2–3), but then meekly lost at home to Espanyol (0–2). At the same time, they also convincingly beat a motivated Villarreal side 3–0 at home.

Despite the dip in results, it’s hard to say the team is in bad form. In the match against Real Madrid last round, the squad’s depth was also put on display. Substitutes like Iago Aspas, Pablo Durán, and Williot Swedberg earned high marks from pundits.

Sevilla

Joaquín Caparrós, appointed in mid-April, has not been tasked with lofty goals by the club’s management. The main objective is to avoid slipping into the relegation zone, which is just six points away. However, Sevilla has lost five of their last seven matches, collecting only two points in that span, making relegation a real threat. Notably, Sevilla has lost their last three away games in La Liga.

Stats and Head-to-Head

Since 2022, the teams have faced off six times, with each side recording just one win. In the first round of this season’s La Liga, Sevilla narrowly defeated Celta 1–0 at home. That was the only one of those six matches in which both teams did not score.

Prediction

Sevilla’s desperation to avoid relegation could play a role. However, comparing both teams’ performances over the past two months shows Sevilla looking very lackluster compared to Celta. We’re backing a Celta win at odds of 1.83.
