Sevilla – Celta Vigo

FC Sevilla will take on Celta Vigo at home in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey semifinals, with both sides feeling they have an excellent chance to play in the last act.

Sevilla has been in dominant form lately, posting 7 wins and 1 draw in the last 8 matches in all competitions – the draw being a 0-0 result away at Atletico Madrid. If we go a bit more back in time, Sevilla has 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the previous 17 matches. The poor start of the season is long forgotten and the home side is playing as well as ever right now – they aren`t just winning, they are doing it in style.

If Sevilla is “Jekyll”, Celta Vigo seems to be “Hyde”. The visitors played great early in the season when Sevilla was struggling, but have gone totally out of form in the last 6 weeks or so. Celta lost 5 of the last 6 Primera Division matches, only winning 4-3 at home against last placed Levante a few weeks ago. However, Celta did manage to post a huge upset in the Copa Del Rey during this poor run, knocking out Atletico Madrid with a 3-2 aggregate score.

Team news & lineups:

Pareja and Andreolli wil not play for Sevilla, while Krychowiak is doubtful. Celta Vigo won’t be able to count on Fontas, but they also have Nolito, Diaz and Blanco doubtful. Both sides should use their best available lineups here.

FC Sevilla: Rico – Coke, Rami, Carrico, Tremoulinas – N’Zonzi, Cristoforo – Krohn-Dehli, Vitolo, Banega – Gameiro

Celta Vigo: Alvarez – Jonny, Gomez, Cabral, Planas – Wass, Radoja – Bongonda, Hernandez, Beauvue – Aspas

I believe Sevilla has what it takes to claim victory against this out of form Celta Vigo side at home. The visitors remain a good team and their win over Atletico Madrid was impressive, but right now they are simply not consistent enough, while Sevilla is playing lights out.

My tip is Sevilla to win and the odds are dropping on this bet. I reckon Celta Vigo won`t be upset at all with a 1 goal loss as long as they score, though I am not sure they will be able to. It`s very worth noting that Sevilla has won the previous 11 matches at home in all competition, so it’s hard to see them blowing this first leg at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Prediction: FC Sevilla – Celta Vigo 2-0.
