Celta Vigo vs Almeria prediction 01.03.2024

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: 1st March 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Balaídos

On Friday night, Celta Vigo, aiming for a win to distance themselves from the Spanish top flight’s red zone, will host Almeria, who are favorites for relegation.

The hosts are just three points above the bottom three, suggesting it would be unexpected if they were to be relegated, given their twelve-year streak in La Liga. Rafael Benítez’s team had a golden opportunity to increase their distance from the relegation zone last weekend when they led Cádiz by two goals with just over 25 minutes left. Regrettably, a draw was forced following two late goals from Juanmi and Machis.

Meanwhile, Almeria barely escaped demotion after their comeback to La Liga last season. However, this season, it would take a miracle for them to avoid relegation. The visiting team is at the bottom of the table, accumulating only nine points from 26 games. They also have the poorest away record in this league.

Celta Vigo vs Almeria Betting Tips: Home team to win

Despite Celta only securing one victory in their last four games, the quality of their performances in these matches should not be underestimated. The Sky Blues managed to score eight goals during this period, a commendable achievement given they had only netted once in the three games prior.

Almeria remains the only team without a victory in La Liga this season, and their record on the road is even more dismal. The Rojiblancos have suffered defeats in eleven out of their thirteen away matches this season, and I anticipate another loss for them this week.
