Celta Vigo hosts Levante in the ninth round of the Spanish La Liga as big 1.40 odds favorites.
Celta Vigo is one of the surprise packages of La Liga this season … 7th place, 3 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss. Hosts have a single point in the last two games but had hard matches vs. Villareal (1-3) and Athletic Bilbao (1-1), for sure hosting Levante looks like a good time for Celta to recover. Hosts are playing nice attractive football, scoring almost 2 goals per game in average … and exactly 2 goals per game in average at home.
Bet on Celta Vigo vs. Levante with the best La Liga odds offered by Pinnacle.
Levante without some key players from last season is looking good value to drop out of La Liga … 19th place, 5 points in 8 rounds (Celta has 13) and their defense looks like a joke from what it was last season, receiving 20 goals in 8 matches! Clearly especially the losing of keeper Navas is a big handicap. Levante of course in poor form, has only 1 point in last 3 games and received 10 goals in these 3 games. Last round was a 0-5 home defeat to Real Madrid.
My tip will be over 2.5 goals … Celta is scoring lots of goals and hosts the team with the worst defense in the league, who received as I said 10 goals in the last 3 games. For sure Celta should be able to score at least 2 goals but I also think Levante can score on counter attacks. You can guess that when somebody gets 1 goal ahead, it will totally open the game up … if Levante scores than Celta will press more and leave spaces, if Celta scores Levante must open up and this will be great for Celta-s speed and creativity. I’m not sure if Celta reached such a level to be 1.40 favorite in La Liga against anyone … not saying they won’t win, maybe cover the handicap, but the value is not there on Celta win. I clearly see an over and many goals between a team that plays attractive football and one with a horrible defense that can not defend properly. Correct score prediction: Celta Vigo – Levante 3-1.
