Team News

Celta Vigo
Espanyol
  • Augusto Fernandez and Santi Mina are available once again after suspension.
  • Pablo Hernandez is a possible doubt, which will likely mean that Fabian Orellana will slot in behind the lone striker Joaquin Larrivey.
  • Fernandez should immediately slot into a deep midfield two alongside Michael Krohn-Delhi.
  • Sergio Garcia and Felipe Caicedo should start up front, despite Christian Stuani bagging a goal last time out.
  • Few changes are expected from Sergio, despite his side falling to a heavy 4-1 defeat against Real Madrid last weekend.
  • Espanyol are likely to play in a 4-4-2 after attempting to pack the defence with a different system versus Los Blancos.

Prediction

  • Celta Vigo have only lost one of their last eight La Liga matches, with that sole defeat coming at the hands of Real Madrid, in what was a very competitive 4-2 loss.
  • Espanyol were also beaten by Carlo Ancelotti's men to end a decent run of form, as Sergio's side have managed to pick up seven points from their last available 12.
  • The visitors have recorded wins in three of their last four away games in the Spanish top flight, defeating Villarreal, Granada and Eibar during that period.
