Celta de Vigo form and stats

Celta de Vigo have collected 2 points from their La Liga home games so far after 0-2-3. Celta de Vigo have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The home club members saw a 2-2 draw versus Getafe last time out and are looking for a victory here. Going home with only a draw was problematic to swallow as the team bossed xG (expected goals): 2.82 - .70. A painful moment in the game against Getafe was the missed penalty kick from Aspas in the 14th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Larsen, who usually features in attack, was the declared top performer for the team in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 8.14 (out of 10). Larsen scored one goal and hit three key passes.

Prior to that, an away loss at Las Palmas.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Celta here at Estadio de Balaídos in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 5 games). 7 goals have been conceded.

Atlético Madrid form and stats

Paul hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 23 successful passes (of 26 total).

Before that game, the victory at home against Feyenoord in the Champions League (3-2).
