Celta Vigo Team News

Celta faces challenges ahead of Sunday’s match after two consecutive losses to Real Sociedad (1-0 in La Liga last weekend and 2-1 in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday). Despite this, Rafael Benitez’s team managed to secure four points in their last three league games, defeating Real Betis and drawing with Mallorca, showing signs of recovery.

In the current 2023/24 season, Celta struggles with consistency, with a record of three wins, eight draws, and 10 losses in 21 league matches, placing them in 16th position with 17 points. The team is just two points away from the relegation zone, and their home form has been disappointing, earning only 10 points from 11 games in front of their own fans and scoring just eight goals.

Celta will be weakened by the absence of Joseph Aidoo and Franco Cervi due to injuries, while Jonathan Bamba continues to represent Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations. Coach Benitez plans to reintroduce key players such as Iago Aspas, Oscar Mingueza, Unai Nunez, and Carlos Dotor. Additionally, the return of Jorgen Strand Larsen is expected, who has been in excellent form with seven goals in the Spanish league this season.

Girona Team News

Girona’s surprising La Liga season continued last weekend with a 5-1 victory over Sevilla, bringing them to 52 points from 21 matches with a record of 16 wins, four losses, and one draw. They currently lead the league, holding a one-point advantage over Real Madrid, who have a game in hand. A win or draw against Las Palmas would allow them to maintain their top position.

Girona has been the most prolific attacking team of the season with 51 goals in 21 matches, positioning themselves excellently for a top-four finish, holding an 11-point lead over fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao.

Michel’s team boasts the best away record in La Liga, accumulating 24 points from 10 matches. They enter the upcoming game after a defeat in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, losing 3-2 to Mallorca.

In terms of injuries, several players are unavailable, including Eric Garcia, Juanpe, David Lopez, Joel Roca, and Toni Villa. Antal Yaakobishvili may feature in the defensive midfield due to injuries, and there will be changes in the lineup, including the inclusion of Artem Dovbyk, who has scored 14 goals and provided six assists in his debut La Liga season.
