Getafe will welcome Celta Vigo to Estadio Coliseum in La Liga on Saturday. The hosts are 13th in the standings and can at best finish 12th in the standings with a win in this match. Celta are seventh in the league table and need to secure a win in their final match of the season to retain their place in the standings and secure a direct berth in the UEFA Europa League.
Azulones returned to winning ways after six consecutive losses last week with a 2-1 away triumph over Mallorca. Mauro Arambarri broke the deadlock in the 56th minute, and Christantus Uche doubled their lead in the 65th minute. Cyle Larin bagged a consolation goal for Mallorca in stoppage time.
The visitors played Rayo Vallecano last week in a crucial match and fell to a 2-1 home loss. Marcos Alonso scored from the penalty spot in the 10th minute, but Vallecano scored twice later in the first half to register a comeback win.

Getafe vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Azulones returned to goalscoring ways after five games last week and will look to continue that form. They have lost five of their last six home games in La Liga, conceding 11 goals, and will look to improve upon that record.
Dakonam Djené is back from a suspension, but Luis Milla misses this match due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Álex Sola and Domingos Duarte are nursing knocks and face late fitness tests.
Los Celestes saw their winning streak end after two games last week and will look to bounce back here. Notably, they have won just one of their last seven games in this fixture.
Carl Starfelt and Jailson Marques remain the two absentees for the visitors. Iago Aspas was on the bench against Vallecano last week and might get the nod to start.
Getafe have lost their last four home games and will likely struggle here. Celta need to secure a win in this match, and considering their better goalscoring record, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
