Celta Vigo are hoping to win again after their last result, the 0-1 La Liga triumph against Real Sociedad.

In that match, Celta Vigo managed 39% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Celta Vigo was Alfon González (44'). On the other side, Real Sociedad got 15 shots on goal with 5 of them on target.

Matches involving Celta Vigo have tended to be entertaining affairs lately with plenty of scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past half dozen clashes, the sum of 23 goals have flown in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.83 goals per game) with 12 of these coming from Celta Vigo. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this game, of course.

Taking a look at their past results, Celta Vigo:

  • have left without a victory over Rayo Vallecano in their last 3 league matches.
  • are undefeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

Last time out, Rayo Vallecano drew 2-2 in the La Liga match with Real Betis.

In that game, Rayo Vallecano had 53% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 6 on target. For Rayo Vallecano, the goals were scored by Jorge de Frutos (37') and Florian Lejeune (45'). On the other side, Real Betis had 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Cucho Hernández (51') and Isco (61') scored for Real Betis.

It is worth noting that Rayo Vallecano have been starved of goals over their last six clashes, contributing the disappointing return of just 4. In those fixtures, Franjirrojos have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 11.

Ahead of this meeting, Rayo Vallecano have not beaten Celta Vigo in games played away from home for the previous 6 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at their most recent head to head meetings going back to 05/02/2022 shows us that Celta Vigo have won 2 of these & Rayo Vallecano 1, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 3.

A total of 8 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 6 from Os Celestes and 2 belonging to Franjirrojos. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.33.

The last league clash between the two was La Liga match day 19 on 10/01/2025 when it finished Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Celta Vigo.

On that day, Rayo Vallecano managed 50% possession and 8 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The goalscorers were Adri Embarba (5') and Jorge de Frutos (63').

For their opponents, Celta Vigo got 23 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Borja Iglesias (26') was the scorer.

The referee was Guillermo Cuadra Fernández.

🗞️ Team News: Celta Vigo

In all likelihood, Os Celestes may well employ a 3-4-2-1 formation this time featuring Vicente Guaita, Javi Rodriguez, Carlos Dominguez, Mihailo Ristic, Oscar Mingueza, Fran Beltran, Ilaix Moriba, Sergio Carreira, Fer Lopez, Alfon Gonzalez and Borja Iglesias.

📋 Team News: Rayo Vallecano

Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there is only the one fitness problem for the Rayo Vallecano manager Iñigo Pérez to be concerned with. Abdul Mumin (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that Franjirrojos could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Augusto Batalla, Ivan Balliu, Florian Lejeune, Aridane Hernandez, Pep Chavarria, Pathe Ciss, Pedro Diaz, Andrei Ratiu, Isi Palazon, Alvaro Garcia and Jorge de Frutos.

⚡ Prediction

In our view, Celta Vigo should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

In contrast, Rayo Vallecano might well find it a difficult task to break down their defence although we do think it’s probable that they will be getting the chances to score, too.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Celta Vigo at the end of the 90 minutes.
