About The Match
This is a meeting of two sides whose season numbers point in opposite directions, and the market's pricing of Celta Vigo as a clear favourite sits awkwardly against what the underlying data shows. Santander have scored 11 goals to Celta Vigo's 3 across six matches, yet the market gives Celta Vigo a 52% chance of winning, largely because Santander's away form has been dreadful. The key uncertainty is whether Santander's attacking output can survive the trip, given they have lost all four away matches this season while conceding 14 goals.
