Team Reviews
Albacete are entering this Copa del Rey Round of 32 clash at Estadio Carlos Belmonte on December 17, 2025, in solid Segunda División form, sitting mid-table with good defensive records. Their recent form includes progress in the cup with wins over lower-tier teams and a league draw. They've scored around 1.2 goals and conceded 1.0 per game. At home, Albacete are tough, unbeaten in recent cup ties. Coach's lineup relies on Higinio Marín's finishing and Álvaro Rodríguez's impact. No major injuries are reported. Albacete will focus on compactness and set-pieces to frustrate Celta Vigo, aiming for a historic upset against La Liga opposition.
Celta Vigo are in mid-table La Liga form, with an unbeaten run in recent matches. Their recent form includes cup progress and league draws. They've scored steadily and conceded few. Away form is reliable against lower opposition. Coach Claudio Giráldez's squad relies on Iago Aspas's experience and Borja Iglesias's finishing. No major injuries are noted. Celta Vigo will aim for control and quick transitions to advance comfortably.
Head to Head
Albacete and Celta Vigo have met 12 times historically, with Celta winning 6, Albacete 3, and 3 draws, averaging 2.5 goals per game. Celta won the last encounter 2-1 in La Liga 2022. At Carlos Belmonte, Albacete have won 2 of 6, with 2 draws. Both teams scored in 50% of meetings. Celta's top-flight experience gives them an edge, but Albacete's home resilience adds intrigue.
Prediction
Celta Vigo's La Liga quality and cup experience make them favorites against Albacete's Segunda level and home advantage. Albacete's defensive setup could keep it close, but Celta's attack should prevail. I predict a 1-2 Celta Vigo win, with Aspas scoring. Celta Vigo's win probability is around 60%, reflecting their form and Albacete's competitive home record. Expect Celta to control possession (around 55%) and corners (7-9), with Albacete relying on counters. The game will be tactical, with Celta Vigo advancing to the next round.
