Celta Vigo take on the visitors Genk at “Balaidos” in the first-leg match of the UEFA Europa League’s quarter-final. The game will be played in Vigo on Thursday, April 13th.
Celta Vigo come up to the match in the UEFA Europa League with two consecutive losses in the LaLiga: vs. Valencia 2:3 and vs. Eibar 0:2. Such results prove that the Spaniards focus on the EUFA Europa League. In the spring play-offs’ games Celta Vigo knocked out Shakhtar Donetsk 0:1, 2:0 and Krasnodar 2:1, 2:0 which were not the most serious opponents in the tournament. Celta show better results at their own turf and gained most of their victories at the home ground. Eduardo Berizzo’s team conducted 22 home matches resulted in 13 victories, five draws and four defeats. It should be noted that Celta recorded three out of four unsuccessful games at their own turf in seven recent matches.

Genk come up to the visit to Spain with six-match undefeated run as last time they lost was on the 26th of February. This spring the Belgians knocked out Astra 2:2, 1:0 and their country mates from Gent 5:2, 1:1. It means that they didn’t play against solid European sides. Genk go through the long season and have conducted already 25 matches on the road recording nine wins, seven draws and nine defeats. Not the best results, however, it should be noted that Genk were defeated only twice at away fields across 10 played games in 2017.
Celta Vigo and Genk have never met before. The Spanish club put all its money down on the Eurocups at the end of the season. Thus Celta should beat the Belgians in face of their fans as the Spaniards are the favourite in this pair.
Prediction for the match: Celta Vigo to win.
