The final matchday of the 2024/25 Primera División season sees Getafe take on Celta de Vigo at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on May 24, 2025. Kick-off is set for 21:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 20:00 BST in the UK. This curtain-raiser promises tension and drama as both sides look to end the campaign on a high.
Getafe enter this fixture having secured their top-flight status with a gritty 2-1 win over Mallorca last time out, while Celta de Vigo still harbour dreams of European qualification. With so much at stake, fans can expect a fiercely contested encounter under the floodlights.
How are both teams coming into this?
After clinching safety with that late-season victory, Getafe currently sit in 13th place on 42 points from 37 games, comfortably clear of the relegation scrap. Under José Bordalás, they’ve built a reputation for defensive solidity and pragmatic football, though their form at the Coliseum has been patchy all season, with just four home wins to date.
That 2-1 success in Mallorca could inject fresh confidence into a side that has struggled for consistency, and Bordalás will be keen to see his players replicate that spirit in front of their home fans and finish the season strongly.
Celta de Vigo, meanwhile, occupy 7th spot with 52 points from 37 matches, harbouring hopes of pipping a rival into European contention. Their 56 goals scored this term underline an attractive, attacking philosophy under Claudio Giráldez, but a leaky back line—54 goals conceded—remains a concern, especially on the road.
Despite three wins in their last five outings, Celta’s morale took a hit with a 2-1 home loss to Rayo Vallecano. They now need to rediscover their attacking flair away from Balaídos if they’re to cap their campaign with a crucial victory.
Our forecast
We’re expecting a tight, nervy contest at the Coliseum, where stakes are high for both clubs. Getafe will fight to maintain momentum after sealing safety, while Celta must claim three points to keep their European dreams alive. This balance of motivation and caution points towards a draw as the most probable outcome.
Defensive vulnerabilities on both sides also support a both teams to score selection. Neither back line has looked entirely secure in recent weeks, so goals at both ends seem highly likely before the final whistle.
