Celta Vigo slipped to 17th place, one level above the relegation zone, with only 12 points from 14 matches. Even among the 20 competing clubs, only Elche has lost more than Los Celestes.
Under the leadership of Carlos Carvalhal, his new coach since November, Celta have not shown significant changes. In four matches, Celta recorded two wins in the Copa del Rey competition after previously only collecting one point from the last two league matches before the World Cup break.
Only one Celta player has participated in the World Cup, namely defender Joseph Aidoo. Of course this is a distinct advantage considering that Sevilla had to give up the departure of ten players to defend their respective countries, including three of them who were involved in Argentina’s success in winning the world title.
The red card suspensions that Ivan Rakitic and Tanguy Nianzou had to endure and Isco’s departure from the club added to the minimal choice of players that Jorge Sampaoli could involve in the line up. Not to mention the injuries that could hinder the involvement of Alex Telles, Thomas Delaney, Marcao and Jesus Manuel Corona.
Interestingly, Sevilla has been quite reliable in away games in the league this season. In fact, eight of the 11 points he has collected have come away from home, and the Rojiblancos have lost just one of their last five league visits, winning two and drawing two.
On the other hand, despite always scoring at least one goal in seven home games in La Liga this season, Celta have failed to win in their last three home games including two defeats against the Southern club.
According to head to head records, Sevilla are narrowly ahead with 49 wins from 106 meetings against Celta Vigo in various competitions, drawing 18 times and losing 39 times. The club, which is on the verge of the relegation zone, has also always won in its last two league visits to the Stadio de Balaidos, each by a margin of just one goal.
