Celta Vigo, Recent FormCelta Vigo will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Sevilla. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Sevilla who had 11 attempts and 4 on target.
Rafael Benítez, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 14 games this season.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Real Betis in their last league game, Rayo Vallecano will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with a 39% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Real Betis, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 8 of their 15 games this season.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Álvaro García will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Celta Vigo in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Rayo Vallecano.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
Celta will be looking to extend their current run of 5 clean sheets against Los Franjirrojos. When playing away from home in the league, Los Franjirrojos have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Celta.
In the league, Celta has a good track record when they host Rayo, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
With 4 goals from the previous 3 league matches against Rayo at The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos, Celta player, Iago Aspas, will be looking forward to this clash.
Celta manager Rafael Benítez has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Joseph Aidoo (Cruciate ligament), Carlos Dotor (Thigh), Mihailo Ristić (Hamstring), Williot Swedberg (Contusion) and Renato Tapia (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Álvaro García (Physical discomfort) and Diego Méndez (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Iñigo Pérez will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
