The La Liga match between Celta Vigo and Almeria will take place at Balaidos on Saturday at 1:30 am IST.
On Friday evening, Almeria will try to win their first game of the 2023-24 La Liga season when they play against Celta Vigo at Estadio Municipal de Balaidos. Almeria hasn’t won any of their last three matches and is currently at the bottom of the league table with only nine points from 26 games. Celta Vigo, on the other hand, is in 17th place, just three points above the relegation zone.
Celta Vigo recently had a tough match against Cadiz, where they initially led by two goals but ended up drawing 2-2. This missed opportunity would have given them a significant advantage in the relegation battle. They’ve struggled overall this season, winning only four games out of 26, with nine draws and 13 losses, totaling 21 points. Currently, they’re just three points ahead of Cadiz, who are in the relegation zone. Celta’s upcoming match against Real Madrid highlights the importance of getting a positive result in their current game. Their home record has been poor, earning only 10 points from 13 matches and scoring just nine goals.
Almeria comes into this game with a three-match unbeaten streak, drawing against Athletic Bilbao, Granada, and Atletico Madrid since their last loss in February. Despite being at the bottom of the league, they fought back twice in their last game against Atletico, thanks to Luka Romero, who is on loan from AC Milan. Almeria has yet to win a game this season, with nine draws and 17 losses, putting them in last place with nine points, 12 points behind Celta Vigo. While they face a tough challenge to avoid relegation, their recent performances show improvement. Winning on Friday could give them hope for the remainder of the season. Almeria has struggled away from home, earning only two points from 13 matches, and lost 3-2 to Celta in their previous encounter.
Celta Vigo probable starting lineup: Guaita, Manquillo, Starfelt, U Nunez, M Sanchez, Allende, Jailson, Beltran, De la Torre, Larsen, Douvikas
Almeria probable starting lineup: Maximiano, Pubill, Gonzalez, Chumi, Langa, Baba, Robertone, Arribas, Viera, Embarba, Lozano
