Celta Vigo, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Celta Vigo players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Real Sociedad. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Real Sociedad's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Rafael Benítez will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 11 home games this season.
It's been a mixed run of form at The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos for Celta recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games. It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 3 wins from 21 matches.
Girona, Recent FormIn their last match Girona enforced their superiority over Sevilla with a 5-1 home win. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to Sevilla, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
With 17 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period. They've scored in 19 of their 21 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Blanquivermells, having been undefeated in their last 10 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
With 7 goals scored in Girona's last 6 outings in the league, Artem Dovbyk has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Girona produced a comfortable 1-0 victory.
When playing at home against Blanquivermells, Celta have scored at least one goal for 4 games in succession.
In the league, Celta have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Girona to The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.
Girona player Cristhian Stuani will be looking to cause Celta some problems having scored 2 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.
Celta manager Rafael Benítez has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Joseph Aidoo (Cruciate ligament), Franco Cervi (Hamstring) and Mihailo Ristić (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only David López (Muscle) and Toni Villa (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
