Prediction published on 27/01/2024, 23:34  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Celta Vigo will look to scupper Girona’s title charge as the teams meet in La Liga this weekend. This matchday 22 will be played at the Estadio Balaidos in Vigo on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 16th with 17 points and the visitors are top with 52 points. Celta are only two above the bottom-three and would need some positive results to stay away from danger. They were beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad in their last league game, but seven points from their last five top-flight matches is encouraging news. In fact, they have lost only two of their last eight league games, drawing four and winning two. The upsurge is led by their improved performance at home where they won eight points across their last five league matches.

Girona are a point ahead of Madrid but have played a game extra. They could be kicking off the match two points behind as Real play their weekend game before them. Yet, Girona will fancy their chances of getting back to the top as their recent form in the league has been impressive. A 5-1 thumping win over Sevilla in the last matchday extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to 13 matches, where they won ten and drawing three. It is their superlative scoring record that has been leading their charge as Girona have scored a league-high 51 goals so far. They would still be wary of their chances here though, as their last two league trips ended in a draw.
