Can Getafe Drag Celta Vigo into a Dogfight at the Coliseum? Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Read Rationale ▾
Celta Vigo’s technical quality and superior passing (85.7% accuracy) provide a massive edge. Getafe have failed to win since November and suffer from a blunt attack. Celta’s clinical form, with five wins in seven, makes them strong favourites to secure at least a point.
Read Rationale ▾
Celta’s ability to find the net consistently conflicts with Getafe’s scoring droughts. However, Getafe’s physical presence at home and Celta’s aerial weaknesses could lead to a scrappy consolation goal for the hosts, making a 2-1 away victory a statistically grounded lean.

Getafe vs Celta Vigo Predictions and Best Bets
Getafe vs Celta Vigo — William Hill Market Snapshot
Snapshot of match analysis and illustrative probabilities with William Hill pricing.
Current pricing reflects a perfectly balanced contest at the Coliseum, with Getafe and Celta Vigo sharing identical win probabilities.
Low-scoring patterns are expected, with pricing heavily favouring ‘Under’ outcomes based on Getafe’s league-wide scoring record.
- Blunt Edge: Getafe have scored just 16 goals in 21 league matches, the second-worst attack in the division, and it’s left them stuck in 17th.
- Two Different Games: Getafe average 41.3% possession with 70.4% pass accuracy, while Celta post 50.2% possession and 85.7% pass accuracy — control versus survival football.
- Form Swing: Getafe have lost five of their last seven league matches and haven’t won in the league since the end of November, while Celta have won four of their last six in all competitions.
Attacking Output: Season Goal Totals
A comparison of total league goals scored by both sides highlights a clear disparity in offensive efficiency.
The second-worst attack in the division, averaging significantly under one goal per game.
Celta have found the net nearly twice as often as their hosts throughout the campaign.
Technical Precision: Pass Accuracy
Success rates in passing reveal the different tactical approaches: Getafe’s directness versus Celta’s technical control.
Reflects a style focused on long balls and direct physical duels over ball retention.
Underlines a reliance on short passing and technical build-up through the middle.
Sunday evening at 17:30 brings a fixture with two completely different pressures stitched into it. Getafe are 17th, one point above the relegation zone, and the mood is urgent. The Coliseum Alfonso Pérez doesn’t need a warm-up; it needs a result.
José Bordalás has a side that scrap, tackle, and try to make every game uncomfortable. The problem is the net. Getafe don’t find it often enough, and that’s why they’re looking over their shoulder.
Celta Vigo arrive seventh, level on points with Real Betis, and hunting a quick return to winning ways after losing 3-1 at Real Sociedad. Claudio Giráldez’s team can play, can pass, and can hurt you through the middle — but this ground asks different questions.
Team News & Lineups
Getafe – Injuries/Suspensions
- Allan Nyom (unknown injury)
- Abdel Abqar (muscle injury)
- Borja Mayoral (knee injury)
Probable XI (Getafe)
Soria; Dakonam, Duarte, Romero; Femenia, Milla, Arambarri, Iglesias; Mario Martín; Satriano, Luis Vázquez
Celta Vigo – Injuries/Suspensions
- None listed.
Probable XI (Celta Vigo)
Radu; Marcos Alonso, Starfelt, Fernandez; Lopez, Sotelo, Roman, Mingueza; Swedberg, Borja Iglesias, Zaragoza
Implication: Getafe missing Borja Mayoral strips away their top league scorer (4) and leaves finishing even more of a concern. Celta’s likely front line keeps the through-ball threat alive, with Borja Iglesias carrying the goals.
The Tale of the Tape
| Metric (La Liga) | Getafe | Celta Vigo |
|---|---|---|
| League Position | 17th | 7th |
| Points | 22 | 32 |
| Record (W-D-L) | 6-4-11 | 8-8-5 |
| Goals Scored | 16 | 29 |
| Shots per Game | 9.7 | 10.7 |
| Possession % | 41.3% | 50.2% |
| Pass Accuracy | 70.4% | 85.7% |
What it tells us: Celta should have more of the ball and far cleaner build-up. Getafe’s route is simpler — win it, go wide, cross early, and make it ugly in both boxes.

Tactical Battle: How the Match Plays Out
Getafe: Aggression first, football second
Bordalás sets his team up to compete before they create. Getafe are aggressive, they play with width, they hit long balls, and they attempt crosses often. They also take long shots, which fits a side that doesn’t patiently carve teams open.
There’s a sting in the style: Getafe are strong at stealing the ball and protecting a lead. The issue is everything that happens before the lead arrives. They’re weak at keeping possession, very weak defending through balls, and very weak defending counter attacks — a dangerous mix when you lose it high and the opponent can pass through you.
Expect Luis Milla to be key. He’s Getafe’s chief creator with 7 assists, and if Getafe want any control, it comes through his delivery and decision-making.
Celta: Through the middle, quick and clean
Celta’s game is the opposite: short passes, rotations, and through balls through the middle. They’re very strong at creating chances with that exact route, and it’s why they sit seventh despite not being a high-volume shooting side.
The obvious spear is Borja Iglesias. He’s on 8 league goals, and his movement matters when Getafe drop into a back five and try to squeeze space. The supporting cast offers balance too: Iago Aspas has 3 assists, while Óscar Mingueza provides width and passing angles from deep.
But Celta aren’t bulletproof. They’re very weak in aerial duels and weak defending attacks down the wings. That’s Getafe’s invitation. If the hosts can pin Celta’s wide players back and whip balls into the mixer, they can turn this into a second-ball battle.
The key clash
This looks like a fight between Celta’s through-ball incision and Getafe’s wide pressure. If Celta play forward early, Getafe’s “very weak” protection against through balls gets exposed. If Getafe force the game into crosses and set pieces, Celta’s aerial issues come into play.
Key Moments to Watch
- Set-piece tension: Getafe are strong attacking set pieces, but also weak defending them — the box could feel like a pinball machine.
- Through-ball triggers: Celta live for that split pass; Getafe struggle badly defending it, especially when the midfield line gets stretched.
- Discipline and dangerous areas: Getafe are weak at avoiding fouls in dangerous zones, and that’s an easy way to hand momentum away.
What could go wrong?
If Getafe chase the game too hard and lose their shape, Celta’s through-balls can turn one turnover into a clean run at goal. Flip it the other way and Celta’s aerial weakness means one messy sequence — a cross, a flick, a scramble — can undo all their neat football.

Celta Vigo Draw No Bet
Celta Vigo represent massive value in this clash due to a stark divergence in technical quality and recent trajectory. They maintain 50.2% possession and an elite pass accuracy of 85.7%, allowing them to dictate play through the middle. This means Celta can consistently exploit Getafe’s defensive weakness against through balls, which has been a recurring issue for the hosts this season.
Getafe are currently enduring a dismal run, failing to win a league match since late November. They have lost five of their last seven league fixtures, dropping them into 17th place. Their scoring record of just 16 goals is the second-worst in La Liga, and the absence of top scorer Borja Mayoral strips away their most reliable clinical edge. Without Mayoral, Getafe’s attack lacks the penetration required to punish a Celta side that has won five of its last seven league games.
Celta Vigo’s away form has been particularly impressive, picking up 18 points from 10 games. They sit 7th in the table and are hunting a European spot, providing them with high motivation. While Getafe will use their typical physical aggression and width to create chaos, Celta’s ball retention and superior shot volume should see them create the clearer chances.
The Draw No Bet market offers essential protection. Getafe often resort to defensive blocks at home to salvage points, but Celta’s surgical passing game is perfectly designed to unlock such systems. Given the visitors’ superior form and tactical advantage, they are unlikely to leave the Coliseum empty-handed.
What could go wrong? Celta Vigo remain statistically very weak in aerial duels. Getafe’s system prioritises wide play and frequent crosses, meaning one well-placed delivery or a set-piece scramble could allow the hosts to take an lead. If Getafe score first and retreat into a deep defensive shell, Celta may find it difficult to convert their possession into goals.
Correct Score Lean
Getafe 1-2 Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo have the firepower, led by Borja Iglesias with 8 goals, to breach Getafe’s struggling backline. While Getafe’s attack is blunt, their home advantage and physical style usually allow them to create at least one high-value chance from a cross or set piece. Celta’s aerial vulnerabilities mean they are susceptible to conceding in these moments. However, Celta’s overall dominance in possession and through-ball efficiency should allow them to outscore the hosts. A 2-1 scoreline reflects Celta’s superior quality while acknowledging Getafe’s ability to turn home games into physical scraps.
