Celta Vigo
Deportivo Alaves
  • Celta have secured Unai Nunez on a permanent deal and acquired Borja Iglesias to fill the void left by Jørgen Strand Larsen and Ilaix Moriba, who are on loan.
  • Iglesias, returning to his childhood club, might feature alongside Iago Aspas in the lineup.
  • Due to Vicente Guaita's injury, Ivan Villar might be the starting goalkeeper for the upcoming matches.

Prediction

  • Celta Vigo, coming off a promising pre-season with four wins and a draw against West Ham United, readies under Claudio Giraldez. Key signings such as Unai Nunez, Borja Iglesias, and Ilaix Moriba aim to fortify last season's inconsistent squad.
  • Celta Vigo heavily leaned on Aspas for goals and assists last season, averaging 1.2 goals per game. Borja Iglesias' addition could bring diversity to their attacking options, crucial for breaking down sturdy defenses like Alaves.
  • Alaves surprised in 2023-24, securing a 10th-place finish in La Liga after promotion. Recent pre-season results suggest a potential uptick in form, notably with a victory over Osasuna. Their defensive resilience and ability to strike on the counter will be pivotal. Although they conceded 46 goals last season, their proficiency in keeping clean sheets underscores their defensive solidity.
  • New signings Asier Villalibre and Stoichkov are anticipated to enhance the team's attacking prowess, aiming to bolster their goal-scoring record. Midfield maestros such as Ander Guevara and Jon Guridi will be instrumental in disrupting opponents and orchestrating rapid offensive transitions.
