Celta Vigo is currently on a 3-match winning streak across all competitions.

Tactical Overview

Despite being 11th in the standings, Girona has proven dangerous at home, evidenced by their 2-1 win over Barcelona in mid-February, though they struggle for consistency with a 40% win rate in their last 10 league matches at the Estadi Montilivi. Celta Vigo enters this contest in superior form, carrying a three-match winning streak across all competitions including a clinical 2-0 victory over Mallorca. Tactically, Celta Vigo boasts a significantly better defensive profile, conceding only 0.94 xG per game compared to Girona's 1.53. The visitors have been efficient on the road, winning 5 of their last 10 away league fixtures, while Girona has struggled to prevent high-quality chances, as seen in their 2-2 draw with Alaves. With Iago Aspas and Ferran Jutglà leading a frontline that averages 1.51 goals per game, the visitors will look to exploit a Girona backline missing several key components.
