Comments and predictions for Girona vs Celta Vigo: Draw

Girona will look to end a run of three straight defeats in La Liga when they host Celta Vigo on Saturday afternoon.

Latest Girona vs Celta Vigo team information

Girona will welcome back Yangel Herrera to the squad for this match, after the midfielder was sidelined through suspension in the 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the previous round.

Coach Michel is expected to make a few changes to the starting lineup against Los Blancos, with Herrera likely to return to the starting line-up. Abel Ruiz could also be given a chance in the attacking areas.

Arthur and Jhon Solis are also possible options, but both are likely to continue to start from the bench on Saturday afternoon.

As for Celta, Miguel Rodriguez and Hugo Alvarez are both absent due to injury, but apart from these two cases, the visitors have a fairly full squad for the confrontation with Girona this weekend.

Coach Giraldez is likely to stick with the same starting XI that came against Osasuna, although Iago Aspas's late strike from the bench in that game could see him earn a starting spot.

Pablo Duran and Fran Beltran are also alternatives, but with impressive performances against Osasuna, the likes of Hugo Sotelo and Williot Swedberg are likely to retain their places in the starting line-up.

Latest football prediction Girona vs Celta Vigo

Girona have lost seven of their last eight games in all competitions, including five of their last six in La Liga, leaving them 13th in the table.

The Catalans head into this game following a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid last weekend, while in their most recent home game in mid-month they also lost 2-1 to Getafe.

However, the Whites are still in contention for sixth place, with just four points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano. The race for the final European spot in La Liga this season is shaping up to be a very exciting one.

Girona had an incredible run in 2023-24, finishing third and qualifying for the Champions League. However, this season they have struggled to replicate that form.

Even a top 10 finish would be considered a successful season for Michel's side, though. Girona also have a good head-to-head record against Celta, unbeaten in their last four meetings, winning two and drawing two.

Celta's last win over Girona came in August 2022, while the reverse fixture this season in Vigo ended 1-1.

The visitors head into this game full of confidence following a 1-0 win over Osasuna that has taken them to seven points from their last three games, including a win over Real Betis and a draw with Atletico Madrid since their last defeat against Valencia on February 22.

Coach Claudio Giraldez's team has lost only one of their last five La Liga matches, helping them rise to 10th in the rankings, with 32 points after 25 matches played.

The Sky Blues are just three points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano and still in contention for a European place, but they need to win games like this to be considered genuine contenders for the top six.

Celta have been poor away from home in 2024-25, though, winning just one of their 12 away games in La Liga. Girona, on the other hand, have a decent home record, winning six of their 12 games at the Estadi Montilivi.
