Our Favourite Gernika vs Celta Vigo Betting Predictions
If you are struggling to find the right bet for Gernika vs Celta Vigo, check our top betting picks for this game here:
Celta Vigo to Win with Handicap (-1)
While Gernika is doing pretty well lately with four wins in the last five games in Segunda RFEF, they are playing in the fourth rank of Spanish football and Celta is simply a much better team.
Yes, Celta Vigo is in poor form and barely outside of the relegation zone in La Liga, but the difference in quality between these two teams is simply too big for Gernika to overcome it. So, we expect a win for Celta Vigo by two or more goals.
Celta Vigo Over 2.5 Total Goals
Since we expect Celta Vigo to win this game by two or more goals, we also expect them to score many goals in this game. Our next prediction is thus for Celta to score three or more goals.
After all, Celta Vigo averaged 2.86 goals per game in La Liga this season and while they did concede much more than they scored, it shows that they are open to playing offensive football, among other things.

Gernika vs Celta Vigo Preview: Recent Form, News, and Probable Lineups
The guest are clearly the favourites in this game, but let's take a better look at both teams before they meet on Thursday:
Gernika
In the last five games in Segunda RFEF Group 2, Gernika has four wins and one draw. Clearly, the team has been in very good form recently and they have climbed the standings to reach the eighth place in the league. More importantly, Gernika is now just a few points behind the playoff zone, so they could be fighting for promotion if they can keep their run going.
Gernika Predicted Lineup:
Altamira – Iriondo, Vega, Berasaluze, Arberas, Aggirezabala – Ortega, Salado, Agirre – Sanz, Navarro
Celta Vigo
Before the World Cup break, Celta Vigo was in very poor form and without a in in their last six games in La Liga, four of which were losses. Overall, Celta Vigo has twelve points from fourteen games, just one point more than Sevilla, the first team in the relegation zone. So, they need to get some good results soon or they risk being involved in the relegation battle.
Celta Vigo Predicted Lineup:
Villar – Gallar, Dominguez, Nunez, Mingueza – Beltran – Swedberg, Rodriguez, Veiga, Duran – Paciencia
Player to Watch: Gabriel Veiga
The young Celta Vigo midfielder has yet to break through to the team's starting lineup since he only started six of their fourteen games in La Liga this season. However, he is on the right track to become a stander first-team player for Celta Vigo since he has been a very impactful sub.
So far, the 20-year-old managed to score three goals and add one assist in La Liga, despite mostly coming in from the bench. The upcoming game against Gernika can be another chance for him to prove himself, so he is our player to watch in this match.
