VALLADOLID – CELTA VIGO | Wednesday 7pm
Eight points in the standings for the hosts – the first of which came on matchday one at the home of Barcelona – who are just one length above the relegation zone, ten points for the guests, who were certainly expecting a different start. In short, a challenge between two teams that have been disappointing so far and are certainly looking to turn their season around. And usually, in these challenges, the fear of losing comes out more than the will to win.
Obviously there is one team that on paper has a better squad and that is the visitors. But Celta Vigo are coming from four defeats in the last five and so they only need to score points. And even one might be good at this moment in time to give some movement to their standings. And a point at this juncture would also suit host Valladolid.

The prediction
A tie could, as mentioned, come out. Both sides would then move up the table and breathe a little. Celta are superior on paper and there is little doubt of that, but the visitors are not in a good moment at the moment and they might even settle for a draw to move up the table.
