On Sunday, Celta Vigo hosts Real Sociedad for a matchday 8 of La Liga. Celta Vigo intends to increase their lead in the red zone while Real Sociedad hopes to keep their leadership position.
In great difficulty during the last two seasons, Celta Vigo has managed, each time in extremis, to retain its place in the elite on the last day. Often on a wire, this club has once again quite badly started this new exercise and took only 6 points during the first 7 disputed days. The Galicians have not won any more of their last 6 games. Beaten by FC Barcelona (0-3), Osasuna (2-0) and Atlético Madrid (0-2), Oscar Garcia’s men stopped the bleeding by taking a point in the duel of fear against Levante last weekend (1-1). In the standings, they find themselves in 17th position with a point ahead of the first relegation.
For its part, Real Sociedad started this new championship on the hats of the wheel. Already very convincing last season, the San Sebastian players are the most consistent since the resumption, which allows them to occupy the chair of this championship with one point ahead of Real Madrid. All competitions combined, they remain on 4 successes against Getafe (3-0), Betis (0-3), Rijeka in the Europa League (0-1) and Huesca (4-1) before facing Naples on Thursday in C3.
Once again, coach Oscar Garcia will be deprived of his first two goalkeepers Ruben Blanco and Sergio Alvarez, as well as important titular defenders Mallo and Aidoo and at least used Kevin Vazquez, are also absent. Offensively, the veteran Iago Aspas (3 goals) will undoubtedly be aligned.
As for Sociedad, long-term absentees Illarramendi and Sangalli, midfielder Zubeldia and the less important Merquelanz are still not available. Moreover, important Januzaj, promising striker Barrentexea and substitute Zaldua were in doubt on Thursday. With 4 goals each scored since the start of the season, forwards Portu and Oyarzabal are fighting each other at the forefront of the Basque attack which is currently the best in Spain.
The match will be played behind closed doors.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
Real Sociedad will play their 7th game in just over 30 days.
Despite their big schedule, Real Sociedad could win against a very average Celta Vigo side. Real Sociedad victory!
