Sestao vs. Celta Vigo prediction and betting tips on December 7, 2023
Game Prediction
In the early stages of the Copa del Rey, one can observe numerous unfamiliar representatives from lower divisions engaging in battles against elite clubs. In this context, the confrontation between Sestao and Celta Vigo is pertinent, and our analysts have formulated a match prognosis.
Sestao does not appear formidable
Sestao is widely known, primarily because the club was founded only in 1996. The "Industrialists" have never competed in the top two Spanish divisions. Presently, the team finds itself in the relegation zone of the country's third-tier league. In the last fixture, Sestao suffered a 0-1 defeat at home against Lugo. There is a substantial risk of relegation, given the 5-point gap from the 15th position. The team has been notably low-scoring, managing only 6 goals in 15 fixtures.

Celta Vigo requires progress
Regardless of the challenges faced by the "Sky Blues," they play in La Liga, currently occupying the 18th position. In the last matchday, the team could not secure a victory at home against Cadiz, drawing 1-1, despite Celta playing with a numerical advantage for half the match, and the shot statistics favoring them at 26:2. Rafael Benitez's charges have not won in 11 consecutive league matches, securing only one victory in 15 encounters. They are two points adrift from the crucial 17th position.
Head-to-head encounters
Historical records indicate that the opponents crossed paths in the early '90s; however, it was Sestao Sport, which subsequently went bankrupt. Therefore, legally, the clubs have not encountered each other.
