Recent form

RC Celta

RC Celta's recent form has been impressive, with the team currently sitting at the top of La Liga after winning their opening match.

Their offensive prowess is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting exciting, high-scoring encounters. However, their defense might be an area of concern, as they've only managed one clean sheet in this period and have conceded in 83% of their matches.
