Our experts will try to select the most optimal options and the best possible bets for the upcoming confrontation. All the answers are in this betting tip
Command Analysis
Celta Vigo
SpainCurrent form
Celta were impressive in the opening fixture and managed to win the first leg 2-1 against Alaves last Friday, their first success in nine attempts in the opening rounds of La Liga. Head coach Claudio Giraldes was pleased that his side won a game he said they could have lost after a poor start, but they found their way to a victory that extended their unbeaten run in the league to four games. With Barcelona the last team to beat the Sky Blues at home, Balaidos has been a tough place for opponents including Valencia, their last visitor in the competition.
Disqualifications and injuries
Guaita (shoulder injury), de la Torre (ankle injury) and Ristic (calf injury) will be out
Interesting trends for betting
- Celta have failed to win any of their last three head-to-head matches
Home field advantage doesn't always help the Celts, but the Bats' terrible away results can be taken advantage of.
- Iago Aspas has scored after the break in Celta's last two home games
Star player Vigo managed to extend this streak in May, when the opponents played to a draw. Incidentally, that day Iago managed to score his eighth career goal against Valencia.
- All of Celta's last nine La Liga goals have come after the break.
This can be used in betting, but any streak can be broken, especially such a long one. In addition, in the first match against Alaves, Iago Aspas did score in the 43rd minute, but the referee eventually cancelled the goal after an offside was called.
Probable line-up : Villar - Manquillo, Mingueza, Sverberg, Dominguez - Moriba, Beltran, Jailson, Rodriguez - Aspas, Iglesias.
Valencia
SpainCurrent form
https://www.valenciacf.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valencia started the campaign with a loss, leading at home to Barcelona before going down 2-1 on Saturday – an all too familiar story for a team that has not won in the league since mid-April. Head coach Ruben Baraja said it was his side’s best performance. It didn’t help that talented youngsters David Otorbi and Martin Tejon were brought on to make a difference on the pitch. It’s unclear whether they have a chance, but after winning only two of their last eight away league games, Baraja may be tempted to make a major change.
Disqualifications and injuries
Castillejo (injury), Diakhaby (knee injury), Domenech (muscle injury), Gaja (muscle injury), Canos (calf injury) and Perez (injury) will not be able to play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Valencia have won just two of their last eight league games
For Valencia fans, it has become a historical fact that the team starts very poorly in away matches, and this has been the case since the 2011/12 tournament.
- The Bats have been weak on the road, scoring in just four of their last seven games.
There is hope for Andre Almeida, who has scored the only goals in Valencia's last two away league games.
- Two of the last three head-to-head matches ended in a draw
The peaceful duels interrupted a protracted series of face-to-face games in which peaceful results were not recorded. By the way, such an option may well suit the opponents - the hosts will not lose in the first duels, the guests will take away important away points.
Probable lineup : Mamardashvili - Vazquez, Mosquera, Garciorovsky, Correa - Almeida, Guillaumont, Pepelu, Mir - Duro, Almeida

1.27Tip and bets
Today we expect attacking football – the opponents are in good shape after a long rest, which can give them additional strength and desire. The tournament result is not putting pressure on both clubs yet and they can try to get to the opponent’s goal in search of happiness. Rather, we are expecting a traditional scenario, when both clubs managed to distinguish themselves, as was the case in three of the last four face-to-face matches.
Our prediction is both will score and we are betting on it with odds of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Today, both clubs have a good chance of success. The hosts have serious support from the stands and are in a good mood after winning the first round, while the guests have a desire to get their first tournament points. We believe that due to maximum dedication, the teams will end in a draw, as was the case in two of the last three matches.
Prediction: draw for 3.25
Bet on a red card
Both clubs can compensate for the lack of technique and speed with foul tactics, which will ultimately help and bring an abundance of violations. In addition, three red cards were shown in the last three head-to-head matches.
Prediction - Red Card (Yes). This option can be found for 3.95
