Venue: Abanca-Balaídos

This has all the signs of yet another action-packed skirmish at Abanca-Balaídos in the La Liga. Celta de Vigo is in 18th place and receive Cádiz in 16th place. Read all about the match here!

Celta de Vigo and Cádiz should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Cádiz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Celta de Vigo form and stats

Two La Liga home games so far for Celta de Vigo, who are yet to win here at Abanca-Balaídos. Only 0 points so far. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Celta de Vigo, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The fans are hoping that Celta de Vigo will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-5 away loss in the La Liga game against Real Madrid (placed 1st). The versatile forward Iago Aspas outshone all the other players in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.35 out of 10. Aspas served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Matías Dituro had a busy but productive day in the Real Madrid match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Athletic Club (0-1).

There will be little rest for Celta de Vigo after this match as they are travelling to Levante for a La Liga game in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Celta de Vigo at home in the league. 1 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
