They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Celta Vigo, so this record blends games from this season and last.
In front of their own supporters this season, Celta Vigo have posted 4W 2D 4L at — 1.40 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.
Deportivo La Coruna's overall La Liga record this term: 3W 4D 3L from 10 games (1.30 PPG). Last five: D L D L W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. This season is still relatively young for Deportivo La Coruna, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Deportivo La Coruna's away record: 1W 2D 2L from 5 road trips in La Liga this season (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.10 for Celta Vigo, 1.30 for Deportivo La Coruna — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
Trading
Celta Vigo half-time and goal-timing data (11 games, 5 at home): they score before half-time in 60% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 20% of the time; BTTS occurs in 40% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 46% of the time; they fail to score in 54% of games.
Deportivo La Coruna half-time and goal-timing data (11 games, 5 at away): they score before half-time in 60% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 80% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Celta Vigo 36% versus Deportivo La Coruna 82%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Celta Vigo 36% | Deportivo La Coruna 36%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Celta Vigo 1.56 xG and Deportivo La Coruna 1.11 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Celta Vigo attack 0.880 / defence 0.957 | Deportivo La Coruna attack 0.932 / defence 1.099. League average goals — home 1.611 / away 1.245. Data: 49 Celta Vigo games / 11 Deportivo La Coruna games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Celta Vigo 46% | Draw 28% | Deportivo La Coruna 26%. Fair-value odds: Celta Vigo 2.17 | Draw 3.57 | Deportivo La Coruna 3.85. Celta Vigo hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.67. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.67 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Celta Vigo as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Celta Vigo if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.67 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 50% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though form averaging only 2.9 goals per game points in the other direction.
Poisson assigns a 54% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Celta Vigo 50% | Deportivo La Coruna 80% BTTS from recent games.
