Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting Tips (25 January)

It is therefore Real Sociedad which had the luxury of putting an end to Barça's winning streak by winning against the Blaugrana last weekend at home 2-1. After leading, the Basque team first conceded the equalizer but then put it back on track by scoring the second goal thanks to two former Parisians: Carlos Soler and Goncalo Guedes. Without dwelling too much on this part, the Anoeta players also offered themselves a nice breath of fresh air thanks to this victory by moving up to 9th position in the ranking. If the year 2025 ended with a bad series of 4 games without a victory in La Liga, 2026 is off to a better start since Mr. Pellegrino's men are undefeated in 4 games in all competitions, including qualification for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, obtained against Osasuna at the end of the penalty shootout.

 If Real Sociedad is still undefeated in 2026, Celta Vigo has won its 3 championship matches at the start of the calendar year. Against Valencia initially 4-1, on the Seville pitch then 0-1 and last weekend against Rayo Vallecano at home 3-0. 9 precious points which allowed the Galicians to come back to 2 lengths behind Betis Sevilla, currently first qualified for Europe next season. To talk about Europe, the Celticos had an appointment with Lille in the Europa League this week, result to come. 

Real Sociedad is playing without Japanese international Take Kubo, who was stretchered off against Barcelona. A possible tear in the back of the right thigh is placed on the table. A decisive passer on Goncalo Guedes' winning goal against Barcelona, ​​Carlos Soler was sent off at the end of the match and he will quite logically miss this meeting with Vigo. We can add the injury absences of Lebarbier, midfielder Y.Herrera (ex-Girona), the unimportant Alex Marchal, the Icelandic international Oskarsson (long absent in the first half of the season), Ruperez and Zakharyan. Against Barcelona, ​​Mikel Oyarzabal did not fail to be there with his friends from the Spanish selection by scoring for the 6th time in La Liga this season.    Dismissed by the coach for various reasons, Cervi, Ristic, Jutgla (recruited last summer from Club Bruges) and Beltran (10 appearances in La Liga this season) will probably be pushed out before the end of the winter transfer window. For the last city, it is already done with a departure for Girona, in great form in recent weeks.

During the success against Rayo Vallecano, Bryan Zazagoza (on loan for the season from Bayern Munich) scored his first goal of the season. The piston Carreira also scored as did Rueda, scorer coming off the bench. Even when Iglesias (7 goals, 2 assists in La Liga) or a certain Iago Aspas (2 goals, 3 assists) do not prove decisive, Vigo retains the resources to win matches. Returning from his victorious loan with Inter Miami in MLS, T.Allende has still not participated in a single game in the league and he is probably looking for a new base. Ditto for Luca de la Torre. The probable line-ups for Real Sociedad – Celta Vigo:
