Celta Vigo hosts Las Palmas in the Copa Del Rey after the second division side won the first leg 2-1.
Celta could not be in worse form, really disappointing after the very good start of the campaign … Celta lost all the last 5 matches and actually scored only 1 goal in the last 6 games … this is a team that was scoring for fun in the early season but now absolutely nothing is working for them. They were outplayed even vs. Las Palmas in the first leg, losing 2-1, scoring the important away goal in the 84th minute. It is unclear if Celta will rest any players today (the league is probably more important considering recent results) but I expect a strong squad to be fielded.
Bet on Celta Vigo vs. Las Palmas with the top under / over odds at PinnacleSports.
Las Palmas on a roll … leading the Liga Adelante by 3 points, have a very good chance to play Primera Division football next season. Las Palmas did not taste defeat in the last 13 games so for sure they enter this reverse leg with a lot of confidence. Coach Herrera said he wants his players to enjoy this game and not be too worried about the result … but surely Las Palmas will feel they have a big chance to make an upset and qualify.
I think this will be a game with maximum 2 goals. Yes Las Palmas is a team that can score goals but today Celta will impose the rhythm of the game and they played very defensive lately. Celta knows they must no concede so will play very careful, looking to keep a clean sheet and find the winning goal over the 90 minutes … Las Palmas for sure will look for a more defensive than usual approach considering the opponent and the first leg score. My tip will be under 2,5 goals. I think Celta will get a very very close win and qualify … but the under over market is the one to bet on here. Correct score prediction: Celta Vigo – Las Palmas 1-0.
