Celta Vigo aim to extend winning run against Sevilla in La Liga 2027

Celta Vigo head into their La Liga 2027 clash with Sevilla with momentum on their side after two straight wins. The Galician side host the Andalusians looking to extend their winning run and secure their sixth-place standing with 54 points.

What’s at stake for Celta Vigo?

A victory over Sevilla would not only extend their two-game winning streak but also strengthen their grip on a top-six finish. With 53 goals scored and 48 conceded (+5 goal difference), Eduardo Coudet’s side has shown both offensive and defensive solidity. Their recent form over the last five matches (WWDDL) reflects steady performances, though their last draw raised questions about their ability to close out tight games.

Sevilla, the direct rival in the standings

Sevilla currently sit 11th with 42 points, well clear of relegation but far from European contention. The Andalusians have managed just two wins in their last five matches (DLWDW), including a recent draw with Villarreal that highlighted their inconsistency. Their defense, which has conceded 45 goals, will be Celta’s biggest challenge.

Likely lineups and key absences

Celta Vigo are expected to line up with Iago Aspas leading the attack, flanked by Carles Pérez and Hugo Álvarez on the wings. In defense, the absence of Javi Galán due to injury leaves a gap at left-back. Sevilla, meanwhile, will rely on Lucas Ocampos and Youssef En-Nesyri up front, though their recent lack of consistency could work in Celta’s favor.

What do the recent numbers say?

Celta’s last win over Sevilla came on May 23, 2026, a tight 1-0 victory where defensive resilience was key. Over their last five matches, they’ve recorded two wins and two draws, with just one loss. Their +5 goal difference and 53 goals scored reflect a balanced side, though their lack of cutting edge in the final minutes remains a talking point.

Celta Vigo head into this match with confidence and a clear target: secure three points to maintain their sixth-place standing. A win would not only boost their position but also keep European dreams alive for next season.
