Celta Vigo disappointed their fans with 0-1 defeat in the home leg of the matchup against Shakhtar. Considering that the team gain most of their points in home matches, Vigo side have small chances to turn things around. Celta played 18 matches on the road this season, taking six wins, four draws and suffering eight defeats, including 0-1 to Alaves and 2-3 to Atletico in recent two away fixtures.
Of course, the winner of matchup isn’t decided for 100% but we can expect the hosts to hold on to the advantage gained and stick with defensive football and wait for mistake of the visiting side. Such approach leaves small chances for a high-scoring result in the match.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
