Sevilla should be outright favorites coming into this game, although En-Neysri's absence will be felt going forward. Celta's forwards have been amongst the goals though, and should trouble Sevilla's backline.
The Andalusians are expected to ultimately triumph, with an outside chance at getting back into the title race.
Prediction: Celta Vigo 1-2 Sevilla
