Team News

Celta Vigo
Almeria
  • Iago Aspas will be a miss on Friday. He is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards.
  • Renato Tapia is out with a muscle injury until at least March.
  • Tadeo Allende started the last match against Cadiz on the right wing and could be employed there again this weekend.
  • Unfortunately for the visitors, Luka Romero is a doubt with an ankle injury. He scored an impressive brace in the draw with Atletico Madrid last weekend.
  • Aleksandar Radovanovic is injured and will be absent from defence. Chumi should fill his boots against Celta.

Prediction

  • Celta Vigo welcome Almeria to the Estadio de Balaidos on Friday night in with the aim of taking advantage of the bottom side in La Liga. Almeria are nine points adrift of safety and are beginning to stagger audiences with their inability to earn three points, despite some promising performances.
  • The hosts suffered a setback last week, having to share the points with 18th placed Cadiz in a 2-2 draw, but a victory could see them move six points from safety - a healthy buffer at this point in the season. Celta took three points in the reverse fixture thanks to a last minute winner from Willot Swedberg.
  • Almeria last beat Celta in a 3-1 win back in October 2022, and Rafa Benitez's men are unlikely to be the first team to fall to defeat against them this season.
