Racing Club vs Celta Prediction 5 January 2025

🔊 Will Celta continue to perform spectacularly in the Copa del Rey? The opponent for the "Celts" in the Round of 32 will be Racing. The match with the Segunda representative will take place at the "El Sardinero" stadium, which has a capacity of 22,000 seats. The justice will be overseen by a team of referees led by Pablo Fuertes. Our editorial team has prepared an informative prediction, taking into account a number of statistical trends.

📊 H2H

For more than 17 years, the teams have not faced each other. However, before 2007, there were as many as 70 head-to-head matches between Racing and Celta. We suggest paying attention to the full statistics of outcomes: 30 victories for the "green-whites," 17 draws, and 23 victories for the "Celts."

🟢 RACING

The 2011/12 season was the last for Racing in the top Spanish division. Currently, the "representatives" are competing in the Segunda, with all possibilities to make a long-awaited return to the elite. Now, the team from Santander is content with 3rd place in the league table. The path to the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey was not easy for José López's players. After a victory over Lanzarote (4:3), the "green-whites" secured a hard-fought win against Sporting Gijón (1:0). The leader of Racing this season is Andres Martin (8+6).

⚪ CELTA

One of the most spectacular teams in the Spanish Primera is preparing to play its first match in 2025. Currently, Celta is in 11th place in the La Liga standings. However, the scoring statistics of Claudio Giráldez's team are impressive - approximately 1.5 goals per game (5th result in the league). The most prolific players for the "sky blues" are Iago Aspas (6+3) and Óscar Mingueza (2+5). We also note Celta's convincing progress in the Copa del Rey bracket: victories over San Pedro (5:1) and Salamanca (7:0).

⚽️ GOAL PREDICTION

Both clubs cannot boast of extremely reliable defense. Racing has conceded in their last 4 matches. Celta, this season, allows their opponents to score approximately 2 times per game. The home status of the match for the "green-whites" will surely be a motivating factor for José López's players. We suggest considering the following betting option - both teams to score (yes).

📝 MATCH PREDICTION

Our editorial team would not underestimate Racing in the upcoming cup match. Knockout games often deliver the most surprising results. It is worth noting that the "Celts" have been quite mediocre in away matches this season. For example, in 8 away games in La Liga, the "sky blues" have earned only 4 points (16th result in the league). In our opinion, the hosts will put up a fight against the team from Vigo, playing to a 1-1 draw. The key choice - Racing will not lose in regular time.
