Albacete welcome Celta Vigo in a Copa del Rey tie that pits Segunda Division ambition against La Liga quality. Given Celta's fine form in early December, we predict a 2-1 away win. El Queso Mecanico have been having their ups and downs of late(LLWWL), averaging 2.9 goals per match across their last five games in all competitions. Albacete score 1.4 goals per game but also concede 1.5, with BTTS landing in 60% of those fixtures. There are no fresh injury concerns after the 3–1 loss to Málaga, although striker Higinio Marin remains sidelined.
Os Celestes head into Wednesday's clash with slightly better momentum (LDWLW) and are particularly strong away from home, where they average 2.17 points per game and boast a 67% win rate. They score 1.83 goals per away match and concede just 0.83, underlining their defensive solidity on the road. Javier Rueda is a doubt after picking up a knock in a 2-0 win over Athletic Club at the weekend, but Sergio Carreira should deputise comfortably. Historically, Celta dominate this matchup, winning three of four H2H meetings.
Given Celta's fine away record and better H2H, Away Win should be considered. Additionally, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Both Teams to Score (Albacete BTTS rate at 60%) and Over 2.5 goals.
This Copa del Rey match will be played on Wednesday 17 December 2025 at 18:00.
