Sevilla are desperate to shake off a three-game losing streak when they welcome Celta Vigo on Monday night. The gap between the sides is only six points, but the context makes it more intriguing. The Sky Blues sit just two points shy of the top six, while Los Nervionenses are down in 12th, four points clear of the relegation zone. Oddly enough, bookmakers haven’t leaned heavily toward either side, which makes this one a little tricky to call.

La Liga
Since 2020, these two sides have met 11 times. Sevilla have the edge, picking up four wins and drawing four matches. Celta Vigo have three wins, but it’s worth noting that two of those came in the last three encounters. Games between them rarely lack action, with an average of 3.36 goals per match.
Sevilla team overview
Things have been messy for Sevilla. Last Sunday, they hosted Levante hoping to stop the rot, and for a while it looked okay as they were goalless until the 45th minute. But then Levante struck in stoppage time, and Los Nervionenses conceded twice more in the second half without reply.
This stretch marks Sevilla’s first three-game losing streak since April 2025, and they’ve failed to score in all three matches.
Still, there is a silver lining. Matías Almeyda’s side have historically been strong at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Half of their points this season came at home, including big wins like the 4-1 demolition of Barcelona in October and 4-0 over Real Oviedo in December.
Marcos do Nascimento Teixeira is back after a one-match suspension, but Gabriel Suazo, Alfon González, and César Azpilicueta are sidelined with injuries.

Celta Vigo team overview
Celta have been more of a mixed bag. They broke a two-game winless streak in style, beating Valencia 4-1. It was their biggest victory since the 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in November.
That kind of result gives hope, but their road form is worrying. Claudio Giráldez’s side have just one win in their last five away games, alongside three draws and a defeat.
Williot Swedberg should be fine after a minor illness kept him off the field against Valencia. Injuries still affect the squad, with Carlos Domínguez and Hugo Sotelo not expected to feature.
Borja Iglesias remains the main attacking threat, with seven goals and two assists this season, and he will likely lead the line once more.

Prediction
This one could end level, probably 2-2. Sevilla have struggled to score lately, failing in their last three matches, yet their home form usually sparks goals. Celta Vigo can find the net too, having scored four against Valencia last time out. Both sides concede often, and with their attacking sparks, a high-scoring draw feels like the most likely outcome.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Seven of the last eleven Sevilla-Celta meetings ended over 2.5 goals.
- Three of Celta Vigo’s last six games produced three or more goals.
- Sevilla’s last two home matches each had three or more goals.
