Getafe vs Celta Vigo prediction 24.05.2025 | La Liga

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Saturday, 24th May, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Coliseum (Getafe)

For several seasons now, Getafe have managed to avoid relegation thanks to their gritty, often called "dirty" style of football. This year, it seemed they would avoid a relegation battle as they were in a good position several rounds before the end. However, they went on a six-game losing streak in April and May, which complicated their lives a bit. Still, after winning the last match 2:1 vs Mallorca, they mathematically secured survival. Right now, they are in 13th place with 42 points in 37 rounds - five away from the danger zone. So, in this game against Celta Vigo, they are without a real motive.

Celta Vigo, on the other hand, have everything to play for. They have been pretty good throughout the season, and we believe they deserve to return to the European stage after almost a decade of waiting. Before the last La Liga round, Celta are in seventh place with 52 points in 37 rounds. Heading into the final round of La Liga, they are seventh with 52 points from 37 games. While they're in a promising position to secure a spot in the Europa League, Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna are only one point away.

Getafe vs Celta Vigo pick: Over 2.5 goals

Getafe are not a team that often plays high-scoring games. However, lately, they have gone over this line in two of the last three matches. Their defense started to slip a bit, probably because it became obvious they secured survival. Now, we do not expect a great defensive performance in the game where they don't need points.

Meanwhile, Celta Vigo are among the best teams for this bet in La Liga, with 62% of their games finishing with three or more goals (23 out of 37). Away from home, that number is even slightly higher, at 67%. In recent games, Celta have been really very good offensively, scoring 13 goals in the last six matches - 2.17 per game.

Additionally, in the previous h2 game at the Coliseum, Getafe won 3:2. Considering all the above, we believe we could see an open, high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
