The argument against goals at both ends comes from Celtic's home numbers at the back end of last season: the Scots kept a clean sheet in nearly half of their matches at home, and Celta Vigo had away trips where they failed to score at all. That data, though, is from before the summer break and the transfer window, and this season the hosts' defence is creaking: 11 conceded in six games with only five scored, and their opponents' xG (1.85) higher than their own. Over the same six matches Celta have scored eight and conceded five, and both teams found the net in 63% of their away games last term.
Where we could be wrong
Celtic's home fixtures averaged 3.1 goals, with over 2.5 goals landing in 74% of them, so the 1.63 price looks a fair reflection of all that — and both teams to score is our pick. The warning signs are there, mind. Celtic's attack is yet to convince: five goals in six outings is thin for a side that dominates possession. Celta shoot plenty without much accuracy, 13.5 attempts a game and only four on target, so one of these sides going a half without scoring is entirely realistic.
- Two directions drew the same number of AI models: the bet was taken from the one priced closer to the line.
The bet comes from the largest group of AI models pointing the same way (a home win and a home handicap count as one view), and within that group it is the bet named most often; if two groups are level, the one priced closer to the bookmakers' line is taken — how we calculate
