Celta Vigo will welcome Sevilla to the Estadio Municipal de Balaídos on Friday as the two teams resume their La Liga campaign following a six-week hiatus.
Both teams have endured a slow start to their league campaigns. The hosts are in 17th place in the league standings with 12 points to their name, while Sevilla, surprisingly, are in 18th place with 11 points.
The hosts are winless in their last seven league outings and played out a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano last time around. Sevilla are winless in their last five league games. Ivan Rakitic and Tanguy Nianzou were sent off in their previous game against Real Sociedad as the game ended in a 2-1 defeat, with Rafa Mir scoring their only goal.

Celta Vigo vs Sevilla Prediction
Both Celta Vigo and Sevilla took part in the Copa del Rey during the international break, winning their first and second-round games. The hosts scored nine goals while conceding once and Sevilla scored five times in these games without conceding.
Os Celestes have scored at least one goal in each of their seven home games in La Liga this season and two of their three wins have also come at home. They have suffered defeats in their last two home games against their southern rivals and might struggle here.
Rojiblancos have also scored at least one goal in their travels and interestingly, they have picked up both of their wins in their away games this term. As both teams looked sharp in their Copa del Rey games last week, we expect the two teams to play out a draw.
