Celta Vigo vs Levante UD

Celta Vigo is a clear favourite in this match, but analysis shows the market has overpriced their chances while BTTS and Over 2.5 are undervalued. Celta sits 6th with 50 points and solid form (LWLDWW, 10/18 points in last 6), while Levante is in critical condition at 19th with 36 points and catastrophic form (DWLLLL, only 4/18 points). The 14-point gap and 13-position difference is massive. However, several factors suggest the market is not entirely accurate. First, Celta has averaged 1.7 goals in their last 6 matches, which is solid but not dominant. Levante averaged only 1.2 goals in the same period, which is poor. However, Levante has a BTTS rate of 67% in their last 6 matches—significantly higher than Celta's 50%. This suggests Levante, despite poor form, continues to score goals even in defeats. Celta at home has scored 49 goals in the season with an average rate of ~2.45 per match (if they've played ~20 home matches). Levante away has scored 41 goals with an average rate of ~2.05 per match. Celta's defence is solid (44 goals conceded, 50% CS rate at home), but Levante has conceded 57 goals in the season—meaning they're exceptionally leaky (2.85 goals per match away). The key factor is that Levante in their last 6 matches has conceded an average of 2.0 goals per match. The Poisson model suggests Celta should score ~1.8-2.0 goals at home against such a poor defence. Levante should score ~1.0-1.2 goals, but with a 67% BTTS rate, there's a strong probability they'll score at least one goal. The market gave Celta 52.4% probability for a win (1.91 odds), which is reasonable, but my model with weights on recent form and defensive statistics suggests 55-58% probability. For BTTS, the market gives 59.9%, which is close to my estimate of 62-65% (based on Levante's 67% BTTS rate and Celta's 50% rate, plus the fact that Levante is leaky away). For Over 2.5, the market gives 55.6% for Over, which is close, but my model with combined expected goals (Celta ~1.9 + Levante ~1.1 = 3.0) suggests 58-60% for Over. Levante's injuries to Alejandro Primo and Carlos Álvarez may impact their defence, which is an additional factor in Celta's favour. However, Celta's injuries to Carl Starfelt and Miguel Román may weaken their defence. Matías Vecino is doubtful, which may impact midfield. Overall, I expect a Celta win with a 2-1 scoreline, which is consistent with my probability estimates.

Celta is a clear favourite with a 14-point lead and better form. However, the market gave 52.4% probability, which is close to my estimate of 55-58%. There's not enough edge for a strong recommendation, but Celta is the better choice over draw or Levante.

Levante has a 67% BTTS rate in their last 6 matches, which is significant. Celta has a 50% BTTS rate. The market gives 59.9% for BTTS, but my model suggests 62-65%. Levante conceded 2.0 goals per match in their last 6, meaning they'll likely score even if they lose.

Combined expected goals are ~3.0 (Celta ~1.9 + Levante ~1.1). The market gives 55.6% for Over 2.5, but my model suggests 58-60%. Levante is a leaky defence, and Celta is an offensive team, which supports Over.

Celta or draw is highly likely (78-80% per my model). The market gives 80% for 1X, which is close, but my model suggests 1X is even slightly undervalued given Levante's poor form.
