Celta Vigo sit bottom of the League Phase table after an opening 0-1 defeat, while Juventus top the standings following a routine 5-0 win. The gap on paper is wide, but Celta have drawn eight of their last fifteen matches in all competitions, a habit that could make this tighter than the table suggests. Vigo’s Balaidos crowd has rarely let Celta down against big-name visitors, and Giraldez’s side has punished sloppy away performances before.
Watch Randal Kolo Muani, who has produced two goals and two assists in his last five Juventus appearances and leads the line as the focal point of Spalletti’s attack. For Celta, Pablo Duran Fernandez has netted twice in his last three outings and offers the home side’s sharpest edge in the final third.
Hot stat: Juventus have fired 75 shots across their last five matches, nearly double Celta’s 39, averaging 15 attempts per game against Celta’s 7.8. That shot volume gap is the clearest marker of the quality difference on show at Balaidos.

Celta Vigo vs Juventus prediction
We back Juventus to win this one, perhaps not by a landslide, but comfortably enough to cover a short price. Celta have scored just five goals across their last five matches and have failed to find the net in three of those, a pattern that lines up poorly against a Juventus defense built around Bremer and Gatti. Juventus, for their part, have not always converted their volume into big scorelines recently, drawing twice in their last two outings, so a 1-2 or 0-2 type result feels more likely than a blowout.
Celta foul more per shot taken and have picked up six yellow cards in five games, a sign of a side forced into reactive defending. Juventus control possession heavily, averaging over 600 passes a game compared to Celta’s 260, and that gulf in retention should let the Italians dictate tempo from Balaidos. Celta’s set-piece work, 31 free kicks and 17 corners over five games, gives them a route back into matches, but their final ball has lacked precision this season.

Team Analysis
Celta Vigo’s recent run reads one win, one loss and three draws across their last five, a stretch that includes a 0-0 stalemate with Elche in their most recent fixture. That result kept a clean sheet but also underlined Celta’s struggle to create clear chances against a mid-table opponent at home. In our preview of Elche vs Celta Vigo we called Celta to avoid defeat on the back of their patient style and set-piece threat, and the 0-0 scoreline backed that call up directly.
Juventus arrive on the back of a 1-1 draw at Cagliari, a result that followed a 0-1 loss to Cremonese and continued a mixed patch of two wins, two losses and a draw in their last five. The Cagliari draw showed Juventus still generating plenty of shots without always finishing them off, a recurring theme this season despite their league-topping Europa League start. In our preview of Cagliari vs Juventus we backed Cagliari to avoid defeat in a low-scoring game, and the 1-1 result delivered exactly that outcome.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Juventus the favourite

Bookmakers rate Juventus at 46% to win versus Celta’s 27%, a gap that matches the gulf in World Club Ranking between the two sides. We see value sitting closer to the market than against it here, Juventus winning without needing a landslide feels the smarter read than chasing long-shot upset odds.
Possible Starting Lineups
Celta Vigo possible starting eleven
- GK: Ionut Andrei Radu
- DF: Yoel Lago, Marcos Alonso, Alvaro Nunez
- MF: Ilaix Moriba, Miguel Roman, Aleix Febas, Hugo Burcio
- FW: Hugo Alvarez Antunez, Pablo Duran Fernandez, Iago Aspas
Giraldez should stick with his 3-4-2-1 shape, leaning on Moriba to dictate the midfield tempo while Duran and Alvarez rotate behind Aspas. Aspas has played limited minutes recently but remains the captain and the player Celta trust most in the final third when chances arrive.
Juventus possible starting eleven
- GK: Guglielmo Vicario
- DF: Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer, Federico Gatti, Lloyd Kelly
- MF: Douglas Luiz, Pape Matar Sarr, Teun Koopmeiners, Weston McKennie, Francisco Conceicao
- FW: Randal Kolo Muani
Spalletti’s 4-2-3-1 gives Douglas Luiz and Pape Sarr the job of screening the back four while Koopmeiners and Conceicao support Kolo Muani from deeper positions. Kolo Muani’s recent scoring form makes him the player most likely to settle the contest.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Juventus to win at Balaidos, likely by a one or two goal margin rather than a rout. Celta’s defensive discipline and home comforts should keep the scoreline respectable, but their inability to score freely against stronger opposition this season works against them finding a positive result. Juventus’ superior shot volume and passing control should be enough to see them through, even if their conversion rate stays below its ceiling. To be honest, a low-scoring 0-2 or 1-2 away win looks the most probable script here.
