Celta Vigo vs Girona Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Only a single point separates both sides in the LaLiga table.

Celta will return to action with a home clash against Girona over the weekend. The Sky Blues have had a forgetful start to their 2024-25 LaLiga campaign and have struggled to find their mojo. Celta Vigo have dropped points from winning positions and have just not clicked under new manager Rafa Benitez. With three wins and four losses, Celta find themselves in the tenth position.

Girona on the contrary have failed to build upon their good start to the season. After accumulating seven points in their opening four games, they have struggled to perform and have managed just one point in their last three league outings. With two wins, two draws and three defeats, last season’s third-placed finishers are ranked 12th in LaLiga.

Form

Players to watch 

Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo)

Celta’s danger man will look to continue his goalscoring run. Aspas has a phenomenal record against the visitors and has been Celta’s standout performer against them. With five goal contributions this season, Iago Aspas continues to lead the charts for Celta Vigo even at the age of 37.

Cristhian Stuani (Girona)

The 37-year-old forward is Girona’s joint-highest goalscorer with two strikes to his name. Stuani has a good-looking record against Celta Vigo and has found the back of the net on four occasions. Even at 37, nothing seems to be stopping the Uruguayan as he still poses a lot of threat with his physical presence and finishing abilities.
