Sestao and Celta Vigo will battle for three points in a Copa del Rey second-round tie on Thursday.

Sestao vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Sestao have performed better on their travels than they have at home this season. They have won just one of their last nine games in front of their fans, highlighting their difficulties at home. Incidentally, that win came against Celta Vigo B so they will be hoping to get one over the senior side.
Celta Vigo's poor start to the La Liga campaign continued over the weekend, with Rafa Benitez's side currently occupying the final relegation spot. They will renew acquaintances with Sestao after three decades and will be expected to claim the win.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.
