Balaídos on a Saturday evening, two sides going nowhere fast. Celta have not won in five games, grinding out three draws and losing twice, while their attack has scored in just 2 of those 5 outings. Racing arrive loud and leaky, having shipped 14 goals in 5 matches, but they have found the net in 4 of those 5 themselves. The Iago Aspas injury is a real blow for the hosts, stripping them of their main creative threat at a critical moment.
Celta's 2 goals for in 5 games tells you everything about a side that cannot hurt you. Racing's 9 goals for shows they will try, but their 14 conceded means this is a chaotic side, not a winning machine. The model puts the draw at 30 %, which at 3.80 offers genuine value. Under 2.5 at 2.20 is tempting given Celta's bluntness, but the draw carries the bigger price and the better narrative.
Two winless sides in La Liga Round 7, one toothless at home, one reckless away. I back the DRAW at 3.80. It fits the stalemate energy Celta have been producing all season.
