Celta Vigo hosts Deportivo La Coruna right after the visitors were humiliated 8-2 by Real Madrid. La Liga round five.
Celta Vigo is playing really good football, both effective and entertaining … they have 3 draws and 1 win in 4 matches but had a couple of good opponents … last round Celta held for a 2-2 draw at Vicente Calderon with Atletico Madrid. Celta has one of the most entertaining brands of football in La Liga, they scored and conceded in every game so far and have a goal difference of 8-6. Celta is pretty healthy for this game but Fernandez and Oubina will not play.

Deportivo was absolutely destroyed by Real last round … 2-8 defeat at home will take a very long time to be forgiven and forgotten. It is clear that Deportivo’s defense is not up to La Liga standards and if they don’t improve they will have big problems staying up. Previously to the Real Madrid game Deportivo had 4 points in 3 matches, but opponents like Cordoba, Rayo and Eibar were not appropriate tests … Real was and we all saw what happen. For this game Deportivo will miss Insua, Perez and Salomao.
Naturally when you compare the situation of the two teams and the home court advantage for Celta, you will be inclined to pick Celta to win. I do think they will win, but it is a tricky match … Deportivo will give everything they have after the humiliation last round and Celta is still not good enough to warrant odds of 1.50 in La Liga. So a Celta win is not a bet I like too much, but there is a lot of potential on the over. Celta should have a field day against Depor`s pathetic offense, while Deportivo can also hurt Celta on counterattacks; Celta conceded in every game and Deportivo scored in every game so far, so over 2,5 goals is my tip for this game … we should see an entertaining game with lots of action and I will bet with high confidence. Probably both teams will score but you never know, so over 2,5 goals is the safer bet in my opinion, maybe Celta wins big. Correct score prediction: Celta Vigo – Deportivo La Coruna 3-2.
