Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio de Balaidos will host Monday’s football game between Celta Vigo and Sevilla, the two teams who are eyeing a spot in European competitions. Celta Vigo managed to keep their Europa League hopes alive thanks to a 3-1 win at Deportivo Alaves, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Sevilla. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced attacker Iago Aspas, who found the net against Alaves, while providing assists for Nolito and Mina. Keep in mind, though, that Colombia defender Jeison Murillo is out of contention through suspension.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over league leaders Atletico Madrid, with the team cementing their spot in top four. The visitors are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but beating Celta in Galicia is easier said than done. Even though Julen Lopetegui should have a full squad to choose from, share of spoils is on the cards.
