Sevilla hosts Celta Vigo in round 3 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, August 30th at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla)
In the last season, Sevilla finished 6th in the standings, just 2 points from the Champions League zone. As for this season, the men of Julen Lopetegui started very well, having gained 2 victories in 2 starting rounds, but it's worth seeing whether the club will manage to keep such results at a distance. The White and Reds did not concede so far, but it should be noted that Sevilla is not so reliable in the defense (somewhere the opponent could not bring the dangerous moment to a normal shot, somewhere the goalkeeper saved). Not all players are in optimal shape, and there are mistakes in fairly simple situations - defenders often make mistakes in choosing a position while defending. Thus, in the last game against Granada, the Sevilians could have conceded a goal in the first half, giving a lot of freedom to the opponent's players. The midfield center of the Seville team demonstrated a very high-quality game, but mainly when moving the ball from defense to attack. When defending, they do not have time to block the free zones, letting the opponent close to their penalty area. In general, Sevilla’s defense is far from ideal, and Celta’s attack will have a good chance of scoring, but the White and Reds will probably manage to score their goal either.

Celta started a little worse than Sevilla, but in the first round, it met Real Madrid, which gave a cool game. In the last season, the club from Vigo was very scoring and belonged to one of the best in this fixture, but the defense sagged significantly, and the club almost got into the relegation zone because of this. Celta was managed to transfer almost all the attacking potential of the previous draw to the current one. The team is good at counterattacking, quickly brings the ball from its own to another's penalty area, trying not to delay it in the midfield. Thus, losing Real with a 0-3 score, the Sky Blues did not reconcile and were able to catch an opponent on the counterattack at the very end of the meeting. The same problems remained in defense. A pivot zone is rather unreliable, and the defenders demonstrate a game of not the highest quality. Before this round, the club held matches at home, and it will be hard with Sevilla in the first away game. However, claims to Celta arise only in defense. As for the attack, the team does not care who the opponents are. The team is rather well-knit already.
As for the upcoming confrontation, I look forward to a stubborn struggle and, of course, goals scored, from one side as well as the other. Sevilla, due to a good combination game in attack, as well as the advantages of a home stadium, will surely be able to score a goal. However, in the center of the hosts, some players are more effective in attack than in defense. Therefore, Celta will be able to carry out several quick attacks, and they don’t need many of them to score. So, I think the teams will exchange goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
