Celta Vigo vs. Getafe - prediction, team news, lineups
Preview
Celta Vigo and Getafe will face off at the Estadio de Balaídos in a crucial La Liga fixture on Sunday afternoon. Both teams are level on points in the league standings, sitting 15th and 16th respectively, and will be desperate for a victory to pull away from the relegation zone.
Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo have endured a difficult start to the season, winning just two of their opening eight league games. However, they have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, taking four points from their last two matches against Real Betis and Real Valladolid.
Manager Eduardo Coudet will be without a number of key players for this match, including defender Hugo Mallo and midfielder Renato Tapia. However, he will be boosted by the return of striker Iago Aspas, who has missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury.
Getafe
Getafe have also struggled for form this season, winning just one of their eight league games. They have also conceded the most goals in La Liga, with 19 in their opening eight matches.
Manager Quique Sánchez Flores will be without a number of key players for this match, including goalkeeper David Soria and midfielder Mauro Arambarri. However, he will be boosted by the return of defender Djené Dakonam, who has missed the last two matches with a suspension.
Prediction
This is a difficult match to predict, as both teams are evenly matched and in poor form. However, Celta Vigo have the home advantage and will be desperate to impress their fans after a poor start to the season. I predict a narrow 1-0 victory for Celta Vigo.
