Sevilla take on the visitors Celta in the round 19 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, January 12th at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla).
Sevilla were unofficially, but quite realistically, the fourth force in La Liga for a long time and the most frequent winners of the Europa League. Then came a sharp decline, to the point where last season turned into a full-scale relegation battle. They survived only because they finished one point above Leganes, who dropped to the Segunda. Almeida took over as head coach in the summer, and his work has brought mixed but noticeable results, ranging from a stunning 4-1 win over Barcelona to a 1-3 home loss against Mallorca and a cup exit after a goalless defeat to Alaves. Still, the key point is that they ended 2025 with 20 points, close to the European qualification zone. However, after the break they suffered a heavy 0-3 home defeat to Levante. Despite the inconsistency, Sevilla’s recent form shows signs of gradual stabilization. At home they remain capable of strong performances, although defensive lapses continue to undermine their results.

Celta hope to cope with an unfamiliar workload. In recent years, the Galicians have regularly fought for survival, often changing managers during the season, which is how Giraldez arrived two years ago. Claudio first pulled the team out of the slump they were in under the high-profile Rafa Benitez, and then managed to lift them to seventh place. That finish secured a long-awaited return to the Europa League, where the Spaniards have already collected nine points and are close to reaching the knockout stage. In La Liga, the start of the season brought few wins but plenty of draws. Gradually, however, momentum grew, and by the end of December they had matched last spring’s tally with 23 points, sharing seventh place. After the break, they recorded an emphatic 4-1 win over Valencia. In the cup, though, the Vigo side exited in painful fashion, conceding a late equalizer to Albacete for 2-2 and then losing the penalty shootout. Celta’s recent results suggest growing confidence, especially in attack. At the same time, balancing domestic matches with European commitments remains a clear challenge for their overall consistency.
After a series of draws, the Galicians have won two matches, with one defeat in between. The matchup is considered evenly balanced. Taking into account the current form of both teams and their most recent performances, the recommended bet is on the visitors from Vigo with a 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Celta to win with 0.0 handicap.
