Back the draw and Getafe to get the better of Celestes
Getafe will get the upper hand in a tight match when Celta de Vigo visit the Coliseum on Monday in a contest of two of Spain's mid-table sides that have failed to get going in the opening weeks of the 2026-2027 campaign.
Pepe Bordalás' men have won just 1 of their opening 3 games, which have been a mixed bag of 1-0 home wins over Racing Santander in LaLiga 2026/2027 and 2-1 defeats away to Partisan Belgrade in UEFA Conference League qualifying and Osasuna last time out. Celta, meanwhile, have won none and drawn 1 of their first 3 outings, a sequence that saw them follow up a 0-2 home loss to Athletic Bilbao with a 1-2 reverse to Osasuna at Balaidos.
Getafe look marginally the more likely to pick up all three points in this contest at 2.62, but the visitors' odds of 2.92 and the draw at 2.9 make no sense given the clubs' current situations. The Celestes have had a terrible start to the season and confidence will be dwindling fast while Getafe are on a losing streak of two.
Pressure on Celestes’ creativity to make the difference
Getafe's press:
Bordalás has Getafe playing well, with the Azulones compact, aggressive and ruthless in transition. They are built to nick duels and break fast, so Celta's build-up game might be frustrated and pressure will be put on the Celestes' creativity to come up with the answers.
Celta's buildup:
Claudio Giráldez has Celta playing a more structured, possession-based game with flexible shapes and selective acceleration in the final third. Miguel Roman, who has 1 assist in 3 appearances in the league, gives Giráldez a creative spark between the lines.
Outcome and bets:
But the contest of Getafe's press-and-break style against Celta's patient buildup should create a chess match on Monday where neither side gets much in the way of clean looks. Getafe's home form (W1, 0 goals conceded in 1 game) and Celta's away form (D1 in 1 game) should keep this close and it seems only a narrow result is likely. Under 2.5 goals at 1.44 has to be our main bet with both teams to score – No at 1.62 making a strong case too.
Unal to edge it for home side
Getafe have averaged 1.3 goals for at home against Celta de Vigo across 5 LaLiga fixtures while the visitors have averaged 1.3 away.
The last encounter between the clubs in Getafe finished 0-0 and the last two H2Hs are level at 1 Getafe win and 1 draw.
- Enes Unal is Getafe's top goalscorer in the LaLiga 2026/2027 with 1 in 3 and 2 of his team's 4 goals across the last 5 games, so he is the most likely outlet for a home goal.
- Iago Aspas, with 1 goal in 3 for Celta, has scored 2 of their 3 goals across their last 3 fixtures so back the Galilean to keep the attack ticking over even if they are out of sorts.
