The hosts are the clear favourites according to the Celta Vigo vs Almeria odds with an implied probability of 54.5% that they put a much needed three points on the board to ease their own relegation worries.
It’s the second weekend in a row that Celta are up against bottom two opposition after surrendering a 2-0 lead to draw at Cadiz last time out.
Today’s betting tips suggest a similar outcome is possible here with Almeria playing better than their winless record suggests. They held Atletico Madrid to a 2-2 draw at the Power Horse Stadium last weekend.

Player to watch – Jorgen Strand Larsen
The highest scoring player this season on either team is Celta's Jorgen Strand Larsen. The Norwegian endured a tough first year in La Liga but he’s been more convincing this term with nine goals and he’s started every single match for Rafa Benitez’s team.
Norwegian firing in the middle of games
Larsen is not scoring early or late with none of his nine league goals coming before the 15th or after the 75th minute. His favourite time to score has been between the 16th and 30th minutes with 33% of his strikes coming in that segment.
