Celta Vigo vs Sevilla Prediction 23.05.2026 | La Liga

Celta Vigo head into the final matchday of an impressive campaign occupying sixth place in the standings with 51 points to their name, and Claudio Giraldez’s side know that a positive result on home soil would officially secure their return to the Europa League next season.

The Vigo-based outfit have successfully handled the pressure of the continental race during the closing weeks of the campaign, producing a series of eye-catching performances that included a stunning 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital, before earning a valuable 1-1 draw away to Athletic Bilbao last time out.

A single point on Saturday would be enough for Celta to mathematically seal sixth position and direct qualification for the league phase of UEFA’s second-tier competition, and that objective appears well within reach considering the Sky Blues have come out on top in three of their last four meetings with Sevilla, including a narrow 1-0 triumph in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

In terms of team news, midfielder Miguel Roman continues to make progress in his recovery from surgery following a metatarsal fracture, although he remains sidelined for at least another month, while the Spaniard is currently the only absentee for the hosts.

On the opposite side, Sevilla FC make the trip to Galicia carrying a significant sense of psychological relief, after officially securing their La Liga survival to settle comfortably into 13th place ahead of the final round of the campaign.

The Andalusian outfit approach this last hurdle having successfully engineered their escape from a chaotic relegation battle during the closing weeks of the season, a turnaround fueled by an impressive three-match winning streak in May, before suffering a narrow one-goal defeat against Real Madrid.

Traditionally recognised for their defensive discipline and compact structure, Sevilla have looked unusually vulnerable at the back throughout this campaign, with that weakness becoming particularly evident away from home, where they have conceded at least two goals in all but one of their previous 10 league outings on the road.

As for team news, Juanlu Sanchez and Manu Bueno remain sidelined through injury, while centre-back Marcao has returned to training following his recovery, although he is still not considered fit enough to feature and provide additional stability in defence.
