In-form sides clash at Anoeta as La Real host high-flying Celta
Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, both on impressive winning streaks, meet in a mouth-watering La Liga clash at Anoeta this Sunday evening.
Two of La Liga’s most in-form sides go head-to-head in what promises to be a proper Bobby Dazzler at Anoeta this Sunday evening, as Real Sociedad welcome Celta Vigo for their Matchday 21 clash.
Teams on fire
La Real are enjoying a brilliant run of form lately, having strung together consecutive league victories against Barcelona and Getafe. They’ve also progressed to the Copa del Rey quarter-finals after knocking out Osasuna, showing they’re firing on all cylinders across competitions.
But if you think the Basques are in good nick, Celta are absolutely flying. The Galicians are on an incredible streak, having won their last three La Liga matches against Valencia, Sevilla, and Rayo Vallecano. And just to top it off, they added another victory on Thursday night in the Europa League, defeating Lille 2-1.
League positions
This rich vein of form has seen Celta climb to a comfortable mid-table position with 32 points, while Real Sociedad are looking to close the gap from their current 24-point tally.
