Celta Vigo vs Leganes Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Celta Vigo:
Blanco, Mallo, Costas, Araujo, Junca, Beltran, Yokuslu, Boufal, Mendez, Aspas, Gomez
Leganes:
Cuellar, Omeruo, Siovas, Bustinza, Silva, Vesga, Gumbau, Juanfran, Rodriguez, En-Nesyri, Carrillo
Celta Vigo didn't start the new season according to the expectations. They currently sit on the 11th place with a balanced record of five victories, five draws and five defeats. Knowing their ambitions are connect with the European spots, I believe they will try to collect more points in the next period. The actual form is very good, Celta are in series of two victories in Primera Division. Two weeks ago they managed to beat Huesca with 2:0. Iago Aspas was the hero on that match after scoring both goals, first in the 38th and second in the 77th minute. Last week Celta obtained another victory winning 3:2 at Villarreal. Celestes had a 3:0 lead until the finish of the match, but conceded twice in that period. Three goals were scored by three different players - Brais Mendez, Okay Yokuslu and Maximiliano Gomez. Manager Miguel Cardoso is surely satisfied with the last results, although his team was eliminated from Copa del Rey in the meantime. As You probably know, Celta lost 2:0 to Real Sociedad in the national cup. I hope this defeat won't spoil the positive atmosphere in the club. Maximiliano Gomez and Iago Aspas are in excellent form and they have scored a combined 18 goals this season. Brais Mendez should also be mentioned as he is the team leading assistant. Each of the mentioned three players will try to improve their tally on this match. Cardoso has almost all players available for this match, only Mathias Jensen is rated as doubtful.
Leganes are just three points away from the drop zone and they are deeply involved into the relegation battle. They currently sit on the 16th position with 15 points. Coach Mauricio Pellegrino is under some pressure, however the actual form is very good. Leganes are unbeaten on the last five matches in La Liga, winning two of them. They managed to beat Alaves with 1:0 and Valladolid with 4:2, while shared the points with Atletico Madrid, Girona and Getafe in the last round. They fell behind after 39 minutes, but defender Allan Nyom struck the equalizer in the second half. I believe the atmosphere in the squad is positive, while the players confidence is higher. However, coach Mauricio Pellegrino has lot of injury and suspension worries ahead of this game. Important midfielder Ruben Perez was shown a red card against Getafe and must serve one-match ban. Ruben Perez has played all 15 league matches so far and You realize how important he is. Defender Allan Nyom is also out due to suspension, while five more players (Michael Santos, Recio, Ezequiel Munoz, Alexander Szymanowski and Dimitris Siovas) are struggling with injury. Some of them are long-term injury victims, though it is clear the guests will be handicapped.
Celta Vigo vs Leganes Prediction:
Celta Vigo are closer to the victory. They are in series of two victories in Primera. However, the key reason for my pick is connect with Leganes. Their away form is extremely poor, they are winless in 18 of their last 20 matches on road. In addition, coach Mauricio Pellegrino has lot of injury and suspension worries.
Celta Vigo vs Leganes Pick: Home win
