Celta Vigo vs Las Palmas Prediction and Analysis: A narrow victory

Latest team news for Celta Vigo vs Las Palmas

Celta will be without Williot Swedberg due to a thigh injury, while Oscar Mingueza is suspended after receiving a yellow card in the 1-0 win against Real Valladolid before the international break.

Damian Rodriguez could benefit from Mingueza's absence and is likely to start at left wing-back in a three-centre-back formation.

The attacking trio of Iago Aspas, Alfon Gonzalez, and Borja Iglesias started against Real Valladolid and are likely to be trusted again in this match. In midfield, Hugo Sotelo is almost certain to continue in the starting lineup.

On the Las Palmas side, Benito Ramirez will be absent due to a muscle injury. Meanwhile, Kirian Rodriguez suffered a recurrence of cancer in early February and will be unable to play for the remainder of the season.

Viti Rozada and Dario Essugo have both completed their suspensions and returned to the squad. Essugo is likely to start, while Fabio Silva and Sandro Ramirez will likely be the two starting spots in attack.

Both Silva and Ramirez are in good goal-scoring form for Las Palmas in the 2024-25 season, each having scored 8 goals in La Liga. However, the team is still struggling due to a lack of goal contributions from other positions on the field.

Latest football match prediction: Celta Vigo vs Las Palmas

Celta entered Monday's match on a six-game unbeaten run, including four wins, with their last two games coming against Leganes and Real Valladolid.

Coach Claudio Giraldez's team currently has a record of 11 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses after 28 rounds, earning 39 points and sitting in 9th place in the standings, 5 points behind sixth-placed Real Betis.

Celta haven't finished in the top six since 2015-16, so this season could be a major turning point for the club. They are in incredibly consistent form right at the most crucial stage of the season, and securing a European spot is entirely achievable.

Celta's home ground is proving to be a strong advantage, as they have earned 29 points from 14 home games. Meanwhile, Las Palmas have only managed 11 points from 14 away games this season.

Celta have beaten Las Palmas in both of their most recent encounters, including a resounding 4-1 victory in the second leg last season and a 1-0 win in the first leg in October 2024.

As for Las Palmas, they haven't won a single match since the end of December. They are currently on a 10-match winless streak in La Liga and are languishing in the relegation zone as the season enters its crucial stages.

Diego Martinez's team has just had two draws against Real Valladolid and Alaves, sandwiched between a 0-1 defeat against Real Betis. They have only earned 25 points after 28 matches this season.

Las Palmas are currently 19th in the league table, just two points behind 17th-placed Alaves. Their chances of avoiding relegation are still alive, but their inability to win is a serious problem, especially given their shaky defense.

Indeed, the Canary Islands team has conceded 47 goals in 28 matches – the second-worst defensive record in the league, only ahead of Real Valladolid – and this could be a factor that costs them dearly in their fight to avoid relegation.

Las Palmas last beat Celta in October 2023 with a 2-1 scoreline. However, they haven't won at Celta's home ground in Vigo since October 2011, when they were still playing in the Spanish second division.
