Tip and bets
We think that hosts will be the favourite of the match. Opponent is a pretty comfortable one for The Barralet. Plus Celts have some injuries among key players and it might be a key factor for today's match. Nonetheless, both teams will try to get the three points and will try to play offensively. In 3 out of 4 most recent matches both teams scored and we are expecting the same result today.
Our prediction - both teams to score
We think that visitors will have more chances for a victory today. Southerners are unbeaten for six consecutive head-to-head matches, in three of them they managed to win, but any series has an end. We are expecting a victory from the visitors due to their class, motivation and experience.
Our second bet is on Celta to win by one goal
