The Municipal de Balaidos is the stage for this matchup in the LaLiga Santander this coming Monday as Celta play hosts to Sevilla. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Goals from Kounde, En-Nesyri, Munir and Escudero were enough for a Sevilla victory in the reverse match back in November. With Nolito and Aspas grabbing Celta’s two goals, Lopetegui’s side ran out 4-2 winners.

Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards

Celta have blown hot and cold this season in the Spanish league which is probably the main reason they’re so far off the Europa League places. With nine points separating them from Betis who are in 6th, they would need to string a decent run of results if they’re to be out in that same discussion. A comfortable 3-1 win away at Alaves seems like a good place to start. Can they follow that up with a win against Lopetegui’s side?

Sevilla look like they’re getting back to their brilliant best as they head into this game. Three wins and one draw in the last four games looks decent with Lopetegui looking to finish the seasons on the high. In their most recent game, they managed to blow the title race wide open with a victory over the league leaders. A second-half header from Marcos Acuna settled the tie as Sevilla went home with maximum points.
