Preview Celta de Vigo La Liga, Oct 17, 2021

Preview RC Celta de Vigo suffered a 1-0 defeat to Elche before the international break on Sunday, October 3rd at the Manuel Martínez Valero. A single strike by Elche's Dario Benedetto (49’) was enough to decide the outcome of the game four minutes after the break. The defeat, the third of its kind, LLWWL, leaves Celta Vigo in 16th place after 8 games while having 7 points from 2W, 1D, & 5L. Celta Vigo have scored a total of seven goals in eight LaLiga appearances while conceding 11 goals, leaving the club with a negative goal difference of -4. Manager Eduardo Coudet continues alongside Celta in pursuit of their third win in the league this season. However, picking up three points against Sevilla might be too much to ask come Sunday when they welcome Los Nervionenses to the Estadio de Balaídos. Eduardo Coudet could line up the 4—1—3—2 formation with the attacking pair of Santi Mina and Iago Aspas in attack. Iago Aspas has been responsible for two goals in Celta's haul of 7, alongside Santi Mina, who has netted twice. On availability, the coach could be without the right-back, Brais Méndez (unspecified injury), when Vigo make their ninth appearance of the season.

Preview Sevilla La Liga, Oct 17, 2021

Preview Sevilla picked up a 1-0 defeat to Granada on Sunday, October 3rd, at Los Cármenes right before the international break. Ruben Rochina (25’) put Granada in the lead with a remarkable left-footed long-range strike from outside the box five minutes short of the half-hour mark. Granada would have doubled the lead but Suarez’s goal was ruled out by the flag. Sevilla was left without a way through despite having 69% of the ball. In addition, the club had 3 shots in 14 on target and put together 635 passes. Diego Carlos (R. 90’+1) was sent off one minute into stoppage time after picking up a second yellow for retaliation on the lesser-known Luis Suarez. The defeat leaves Sevilla in 4th place with 14 points after 4W, 2D & 1L. With a game in hand, this was Sevilla’s first defeat in five games, DDWWL, and the first loss for the club this season. Julen Lopetegui will fancy a win against Celta Vigo on Sunday when he lines up the probable 4—3—3 formation. The trio consisting of Rafa Mir, Suso, and Erik Lamela is expected in attack. Diego Carlos is suspended for this game, having picked up the red against Granada.
