Form and Line-up
After two wins at the start of May, thanks to which Hiraldes's players pulled away from Getafe in the table, the stable performances disappeared again. In the matches against Levante (2:3) and Athletic Club (1:1) Celta de Vigo again failed to make the most of their chances, while the opponents easily took advantage of the defensive mistakes of the team from Vigo. This unhealthy trend has already become the calling card of Hiraldes's gang, which has not stopped them from consolidating in the European spots.
Key numbers for Celta de Vigo:
The team from Vigo have conceded 28 goals in 18 home matches — only Real Sociedad have a worse defence with 31.
Celta de Vigo are second from bottom in La Liga in terms of home results with 20 points. Only relegated Oviedo are worse with 19.
Celta de Vigo have kept a clean sheet only once in their last 11 matches in all competitions.
Probable Celta de Vigo line-up (3-4-3): Ionut Radu — Marcos Alonso, Yoel Lago, Javi Rodriguez — Sergio Carreira, Ilaix Moriba, Fer Lopez, Javier Rueda — Williot Swedberg, Borja Iglesias, Ferran Jutgla.
Absentees: Miguel Roman, Carl Starfelt (both injured).
Form and Line-up
Garcia's gang have come through a terrible crisis. Before the run of three wins at the start of May there was a serious risk of Sevilla going down — over that spell veteran Sanchez stood out (1+1). At home against Real Madrid (0:1) there was no miracle: the Madrid side calmly controlled the game after an early goal, although the Nervion team hit the target far more often (6:1). Sevilla have maintained an aggressive attacking tempo.
Key numbers for Sevilla:
In May Garcia's team picked up nine points — the best tally along with four other clubs.
Before the narrow defeat to Real Madrid, Sevilla had scored in five consecutive matches.
Since 2021 Sevilla have suffered only one defeat in five matches in Vigo, and they have scored in each of their last six visits here.
Probable Sevilla line-up (4-4-2): Odysseas Vlachodimos — Gabriel Suazo, Kike Salas, Andres Castrin, Jose Angel Carmona — Oso, Djibril Sow, Nemanja Gudelj, Ruben Vargas — Neal Maupay, Akor Adams.
Absentees: Marcao Teixeira, Manuel Bueno (both injured), Juanlu Sanchez (suspended).
