The Estadio de Balaídos is the site for a fascinating Europa League showdown as Celta Vigo meets Bologna in a match this Thursday that will have major ramifications for the knockout stage standings. Celta Vigo has enjoyed a strong run in the competition, amassing nine points through three wins and two losses, putting them in an excellent position to advance. Their recent results domestically include a sensational victory over a perennial Spanish powerhouse and a commanding European win against Nice, though a recent loss suggests a slight inconsistency they must overcome.
The team's overall performance profile shows a high-flying attack, evidenced by 11 goals scored in the group phase. Bologna enters this contest with only one point less than their hosts, sitting on eight points (2W, 2D, 1L). The Italian side’s form has been solid, featuring a spectacular 4-1 thrashing of Salzburg in their last European outing and a hard-fought draw against another high-ranking club.
However, a recent domestic loss suggests they are also susceptible to a dip in form. This fixture is balanced, pitting a highly aggressive, high-scoring Spanish side against a defensively solid and opportunistic Italian club, promising a thrilling contest to end the group stage.

Our Celta Vigo vs Bologna Prediction
Celta Vigo’s attack has been spearheaded by the sensational play of 21-year-old Williot Swedberg, who has been in electric form over the past couple of weeks, recently scoring a crucial brace. The team’s overall creativity flows through veteran Iago Aspas, whose high number of shot assists shows his ability to unlock defenses. For Bologna, forward Jens Odgaard has proven his knack for scoring vital goals, netting an important equalizer in their last domestic match. Riccardo Orsolini is also a key threat, contributing to the Italian side’s tally with two goals in the competition so far.
On the injury front, the situation is precarious for the visitors. Bologna is facing a defensive crisis, with key goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski, defender Martin Vitik, and midfielder Remo Freuler all out with injuries. Furthermore, defender Jhon Lucumi and Nicolo Casale are also struggling with fitness, severely compromising the team's ability to maintain their defensive shape.
Celta Vigo’s injury list is shorter, with defender Joseph Aidoo out and forward Pablo Duran potentially unavailable due to fitness concerns. Given Celta Vigo’s home advantage, strong attacking form, and Bologna’s significant defensive injury woes, a generic betting preview would suggest that Celta Vigo has the upper hand to secure a vital win. Bologna’s decimated backline makes holding off the free-scoring Spanish team a tall order. Our prediction for Celta Vigo vs. Bologna: Over 2.5 goals.
