Omonia Nicosia vs Celta Vigo — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.5: Celta cannot score at the moment, and that is the whole case for a quiet night. They have managed three goals in their last six league games, including 0-0 at Real Sociedad and 0-0 at Valencia. Across their last 15 games they have won 3, tied 5 and lost 7, scoring less than a goal a game. Their away trips are even flatter, with 1 win, 4 ties and 2 losses and under a goal a game scored on the road. Iago Aspas is out with a muscle problem, and A. Antanon has an ankle injury too. Omonia are built much the same way. They have won 9, tied 4 and lost 3 of their last 16, letting in less than a goal a game. Only 6 of those 16 games had 3 or more goals in them. At GSP this summer they won 1-0 against Kairat Almaty and 1-0 against Lincoln Red Imps, and last weekend they were held 0-0 at home by Apollon Limassol. Two careful teams in the first game of the league phase point one way. A 1-0 to Omonia is the likeliest score, and a night like that is exactly what we want. The catch is that Omonia also beat St Truiden 4-2 here, so they can be pulled into an open game. Celta have the better players and one good spell would change this. We still want the quiet game.
