Cadiz welcome Celta Vigo to the Estadio Ramon de Carranza in a round 33 La Liga clash on Sunday.

The Andalusian hosts are 12th in the table, nine points clear of Elche in the relegation zone. Los Celestes are two points ahead of Cadiz in the table, enough to occupy 10th spot in the standings.

Cadiz come into this game having earned 10 points from their last available 15 in La Liga.

Los Piratas pulled off an impressive 2-1 win over Valencia at home following the international break, though it was marred by racism allegations against Juan Cala.

A 1-0 win away to Getafe last week saw the Andalusians climb up the table.

Celta Vigo could also have earned 10 points from their last 15, but for a 3-4 loss at home to Sevilla, having led the game 3-2 at halftime.

Earlier, the Galician side had defeated Deportivo Alaves 3-1 at the Mendizorroza.


Cadiz vs Celta Vigo Head-to-Head

Celta Vigo and Cadiz have faced each other only three times this decade, with Los Celestes winning all three. Celta's last trip to Cadiz came in the 2016-17 Copa del Rey round of 16, with the Galicians winning 3-0 away, before winning 2-0 at home.

The pair last met in December, with Celta Vigo romping to a 4-0 win at the Balaidos.

Cadiz vs Celta Vigo Prediction

Cadiz come into the game as the side in better form, but given the hiding Celta Vigo handed to them earlier this season, the Galicians should be the favorites. Iago Aspas and Alvaro Negredo should thrive in their respective attacking roles.

We expect a high-scoring game, with Celta Vigo coming out on top.

Prediction: Cadiz 1-3 Celta Vigo
