Celta Vigo, Recent FormCelta Vigo had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Cadiz. In that game they had 34% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Cadiz who had 18 attempts and 6 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Rafael Benítez will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 13 home games this season.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Iago Aspas will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Celta Vigo.
Almeria, Recent FormAn important point secured against Atletico Madrid will have left Almeria quite happy with their 2-2 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Atletico Madrid had 18 shots on goal with 9 on target.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 33 most recent trips.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 29 consecutive games without a win.
On an individual basis, Luis Suárez will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Almeria's last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-3 win for Celta Vigo.
Rojiblancos will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Celta, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two.
Celta manager Rafael Benítez has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Joseph Aidoo (Cruciate ligament), Carlos Domínguez (Physical discomfort), Javier Manquillo (Hamstring) and Mihailo Ristić (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Ibrahima Koné (Sprained ankle) and Luis Suárez (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gaizka Garitano will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
