Monday’s Football Bet of the Day
Celta Vigo
Sevilla vs Celta Vigo
La Liga, 8pm Monday
Only four teams in La Liga had picked up more points from their last five league outings than Celta Vigo ahead of the latest round of fixtures.
Celta, who have taken ten points in that time, began the year with a 4-1 rout of Valencia as they continue their push for a top-six finish, and they have also won 2-0 at Real Madrid during that run.
That spells trouble for a struggling Sevilla side who have lost seven of their last ten matches and started the weekend just four points clear of the relegation zone.
An embarrassing 3-0 home loss to Levante was hardly an ideal start to 2026 for the Andalusians and they have now lost their last three games in all competitions to nil.
A visit from in-form Celta is unlikely to lift the mood at the Ramon Sanchez Pijuan.
Odds: 17-10 with bet365
