Hercules Alicante CF - Celta By JonnyAtlas

HERCULES V CELTA VIGO

These two clubs, both on 17 points from their first 12 games, will be desperate to collect three points and close the seven point gap to the promotion places.

Hercules will be without Sendoa Aguirre who was sent off in midweek against Bilbao and their inspirational striker Blas Perez is away on international duty with Panama. However the striker Tote and midfielder Farinos both return.

Current form is very much draws with Hercules drawing the last four matches since beating Racing Ferrol:

C. ReyHércules-Athletic2-2

LigaCastellón-Hércules0-0

LigaHércules-R.Sociedad1-1

LigaCórdoba-Hércules3-3

LigaHércules-R. Ferrol1-0

Celta meanwhile have only one change, with the goalkeeper Pinto serving a one match ban following his very early bath at San Sebastian last week. Esteban Súarez took over from him there and continues today.

Lopez Caro will also have to do without the striker Yiannis Okkas who is away playing for Cyprus.

Remarkably Celta have also drawn four of their last five games, accompanied by a 1-0 win:

LigaR.Sociedad-Celta1-1

LigaCelta-R. Ferrol1-1

LigaSporting-Celta0-1

LigaCelta-Numancia2-2

LigaAlbacete-Celta1-1

Everything about the form for this match tells me to put my money on a 1-1 draw and that is the sensible bet, perhaps with a cover for 2-2.

However I have been following Hercules of late and feel they are due a bit of luck so personally I am in for a home win and split the difference by predicting it will be 2-1 and also I feel there will be cards in this game with both sides knowing what it is like to see red.

Eventually I am settling for a bet on Hercules to win but covering it with draw no bet. I hope handicap 0 is the way to do this and that a friendly moderator will check for me.

Let battle begin.
