Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio de Balaidos will host Monday’s football game between Celta Vigo and Levante, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Os Celeste aim to stay in top ten, while los Levantinos are eager to keep their survival hopes alive. The Galicians failed to impress in a goalless draw with Cadiz, but they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Since Eduardo Coudet has a full squad to choose from, home win should be considered.
Los Levantinos, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Real Betis, and seeing that they are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Galicia, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Skhodran Mustafi remains in the recovery room, while Jose Luis Morales has overcome his injury.
Highlighted Player (Jeison Murillo):
Jeison Murillo is a 24-year-old Colombian defender who plays for Inter Milan in Serie A. The centre back started in the youth teams of Deportivo Cali but made his senior professional bow with Udinese and Granada, as part of the partnership agreement between the clubs.

He was also a member of the 2015 Copa America squad and scored his solitary goal in national colors against Brazil. He would go on to win the “Best Young Player” of the tournament. Murillo is a hard-tackling no-nonsense centre back and is regarded as a ball-playing defender, which is almost a rarity in world football.
