Celta Vigo Form and Team News

Celta have not won so far in the league, considering how they played last season, that’s a bad start. Though its early doors, Celta could’ve turned the tables in any of the three games so far. Celta Vigo in the last season finished just outside the qualification positions for any major championships in the 8th position. They played decently throughout the season and with that had they been able to secure qualification in any of the championships, then their season would have been great. They are playing their next game against Real Madrid on Monday away. Celta Vigo’s recent form has been ordinary. Celta Vigo have the team to win everything they play, and this is possible only if they start believing and performing to the fullest.

Emre Mor, Mina and Aspas combined in the frontline. Denis Suarez, Renato Tapia, Yokuslu and Cervi are all young and a great bunch of midfield prodigies to have in your team and if they happen to put in performances of substance, then this Celta team could be in for some real haunt. Argentine coach Eduardo Coudet needs to balance this team out and try to get the best out of them by allowing them to play freely and see what happens from there on.
