This is a fixture which has really favoured Celta Vigo in recent times. They were 4-0 winners when the sides met earlier this term but that scoreline wasn’t a completely fair reflection on the game and it certainly wasn’t a reflection on the respective quality of the sides. Eibar have been much the more effective team since then and they are rightly the favourites to win this.

Europa League qualification is not completely out of the question for Eibar and would cap what has been a miraculous rise for the Basque minnows. Their team now has much more quality than when they first came up and the midfield in particular has a nice balance to it. Marc Cucurella and former Celta man Fabian Orellana are effective, attacking widemen who are suited to Eibar’s style. Meanwhile Joan Jordan and Pape Diop have formed an effective partnership in the middle of the park.

Celta Vigo do have some big attacking weapons of their own but they have two major problems which suggest they are in real danger of relegation. The first is an injury relapse for star man Iago Aspas, who is both their biggest goal threat and main source of leadership. The second is their shaky defence which has been broken down far too easily at times.

The Galicians did pick up a rare clean sheet last time out at Alaves but Eibar are a more attack-minded team and could have a fair bit of joy in terms of exposing Celta’s weaknesses.
