A Sports Betting Pick by Gladiator
Football: Spain: La Liga - Round 25
Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo), Spain
Sunday, 22nd February 2026 - Kick Off 18:30 CET
Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo finally broke their winless streak in midweek with a much-needed 2-1 Europa League victory over PAOK, giving the squad a morale boost after five games without a win. Their league form still needs correcting, as they haven’t tasted La Liga success since mid-January, but returning home should help. Balaídos has recently become a more productive venue again, with Celta winning three of their last four league games there. That upturn, combined with their push for European places, makes this a crucial opportunity to steady the ship.
Mallorca
Mallorca arrive in Vigo under pressure after losing five of their seven league games in 2026. They remain stuck in the relegation zone, and while defeats to Betis and Barcelona don’t tell the full story, conceding five goals in those matches again exposed their defensive issues. Their away form offers little encouragement, especially as they have lost every league trip this season to teams in the top nine ahead of the round. Staying organised and avoiding early mistakes will be essential if they want to leave with anything.
Betting Verdict
Celta’s improving home form contrasts sharply with Mallorca’s ongoing struggles, especially away from home. Both teams have offensive threats but also inconsistencies, and with the visitors likely to adopt a cautious approach, this match has the makings of a tight, low-scoring battle. Celta should create better chances, but the overall tempo may remain low.
