Celta Vigo will try to back up the win against Barcelona with another home victory in the first La Liga encounter of the round. While Getafe seems easy pray, it remains to be seen if Celta won`t suffer from hangover after such an impressive victory the last time they played at home
Indeed, recovering mentally after beating Barcelona 4-1 in their last home match will be crucial for Celta – they clearly have the quality and the form to comfortably beat Getafe, but small clubs have been known to suffer after big results. However, that hangover seems to have taken place last weekend, in the 1-1 road draw with Eibar (not such a bad result actually). Celta seems to be a team with great character and the victory over Barcelona was not at all random. The hosts are on the 4th place in La Liga with 4 wins and 2 draws in 6 matches, boosting a 15-7 goal difference and scoring 10 times in 3 matches at home.
Getafe continues to have one of the worst sides in La Liga quality wise, as they just can keep up financially with most of the clubs in the division. As usual, the visitors are scraping home wins against fellow relegation battlers to survive. Getafe has 2 wins and 4 losses this season and they lost all three road games with a 1-6 goal difference. There is talk about sacking the coach and the overall atmosphere is not that great, but the unusual 3-0 win last round (against Levante) surely improved morale.

Team news & lineups:
Blanco, Fontas and Fernandez are unavailable for Celta, while Getafe can`t count on Lago. Also, Lacen is questionable for the visitors.
Celta Vigo: Alvarez – Mallo, Gomez, Cabral, Jonny – Hernandez, Radoja, Wass – Orellana, Nolito, Iago Aspas
Getafe: Guaita – Suarez, Vergini, Alexis, Vigaray – Rodriguez, Medan – Lafita, Pedro Leon, Rodriguez – Vazquez
While it`s true that the odds for Celta don`t hold much value after their result against Barca in the previous home outing, they are fair and surely worth a shot. I believe whatever state of mind Celta had after that win, it was all gone after drawing with Eibar last weekend, so no danger for a letdown today in my opinion. Celta is not a fluke and has proved its worth not only this season – but the past two as well.
Celta’s offensive trio will be just too much for Getafe and I expect the visitors to continue their misery on the road with a third consecutive loss via handicap. My tip is Celta Vigo to win with a 1 goal asian handicap. Odds are dropping big time. Prediction: Celta Vigo – Getafe 3-1.
