BetGenius backs Celta Vigo to win (Match Winner) at 78% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Salamanca UDS host Celta Vigo at home in the Round of 128 of the Copa del Rey. The visitors compete in Spain's top division, currently sitting 9th of 20 in La Liga with 12 points from 10 games, and have recently balanced league duties with European action. In contrast, Salamanca UDS enter this cup tie in inconsistent form, having claimed just one victory from their last five matches.
The difference in level between these two clubs was evident in their previous Copa del Rey encounter in December 2024, when Celta Vigo recorded a 7-0 victory on this ground. Celta Vigo do enter the tie with several injury absentees, including J. El Abdellaoui, B. Iglesias, A. Nunez, M. Roman, and C. Starfelt. However, their depth remains far greater than that of the hosts.
Salamanca UDS have displayed persistent defensive vulnerabilities, conceding 10 goals across their last five outings. Facing top-tier quality in a knockout tie leaves the home side with little margin for error.

Based on at least 20 settled predictions.Celta Vigo hold a substantial standard advantage over Salamanca UDS. The visitors are 9th of 20 in La Liga and have maintained solid defensive numbers in the top flight, conceding only 7 goals in 10 matches. Although Celta must manage without five injured players including B. Iglesias and C. Starfelt, the core of their squad operates at a considerably higher competitive level. Salamanca UDS have won only one of their last five matches while shipping 10 goals in that stretch, making an away win the most probable outcome.
Recent matches involving Salamanca UDS have routinely seen goals at both ends, with three of their past five fixtures delivering at least three goals. They allowed three goals against Sestao River, two against SS Reyes, and two against CF Talavera. When these teams met in the Copa del Rey in December 2024, the contest produced 7 goals. Given Salamanca's regular concessions and Celta's superior attacking quality, surpassing the 2.5-goal threshold is supported by the evidence.
