Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Match Preview

Real Sociedad welcomes Celta at Anoeta, San Sebastian, for the 22nd matchday of the Spanish La Liga.

Back to winning ways for Real Sociedad, in the previous matchday they prevailed in Barcelona over Espanyol by 3-2. It was an easier victory than the final score shows as in the first hour of the match they dominated and scored 3 goals. Then they relaxed and conceded twice but in the remaining minutes, they easily kept their lead.

With this victory, Sociedad reached 42 points and remained in 3rd place in the standings, fighting for their participation in the group stage of the next season's Champions League.

Celta worked hard last week in Vigo against Atletico Madrid but could not avoid a 1-0 defeat. A result that was undeserved for them based on their performance, especially in the second half they missed many chances to score but were unlucky and finally conceded a goal a few minutes before the end of the match.

After this outcome, Celta remained at 23 points, and at the end of the 21st matchday, they were 14th-placed in the standings having a 4-point margin from the relegation zone.

Sociedad is back to winning ways and wants a similar outcome tonight. They seem to be the favorite of the match, but I think that the odds do not tell the truth. Celta has improved in the last matches and could be quite dangerous. My final call here is the Over 2.5 goals alternative at 2.41 odds.
