Welcome to Extratips, folks! Today, we've got a real treat in La Liga: Real Sociedad hosting Celta Vigo on May 13th at 18:00 in Spain. The Basque side, sitting comfortably at 11th, have been gritty at home, winning 13 of their 17 matches and bagging 46 goals with just 14 conceded. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo, stuck at 8th, are slightly more erratic away but have managed 45 goals in 17 games—so, a threat on the attack.

Betting odds tell us a lot. Bet365 prices a home win at 2.30, a draw at 3.30, and an away victory at 3.10. That suggests the bookies see this as very much a toss-up — likely a tight game. Historically, these teams haven't faced off much this season, but their last encounter was a 2-0 Celta win in December, which might hint at some revenge lurking.

Looking at recent fixtures, Sociedad’s last five at home include a mix of wins and a 0-0 draw—solid, but not unbeatable. Celta’s recent away form is variable, with a win over Villarreal but a 3-2 loss to Madrid. Their strengths? Sociedad’s defensive resilience and attacking flair; Celta’s counter-attack ability and resilience.

Injuries and tactical tweaks might sway things — Sociedad aims for consistency, but Celta’s on the loose and ready to cause trouble.

For a story angle? Can Sociedad turn their home advantage into a statement? Or will Celta’s attacking second wind upset the table? Expect a close, hard-fought battle, potentially with goals from both sides.

Predictions-wise, we’re looking at tightly linked outcomes. Here's what I think:

• Prediction 1: 1X2: 1 (Home win), + BTS: Yes, + Over 2.5 goals
• Prediction 2: 1X2: X (Draw), + BTS: Yes, + Over 2.5 goals
• Prediction 3: 1X2: 2 (Away win), + BTS: Yes, + Over 2.5 goals
• Prediction 4: 1X2: 1, + BTS: No, + Under 2.5 goals
• Prediction 5: 1X2: 2, + BTS: Yes, + Over 2.5 goals

The game could hinge on set-pieces and midfield battles, with a high chance of goals from both sides. Expect a tense, thrilling encounter with plenty of attacking flair — fans, buckle up!
