Celta Vigo Aims for Top Half in Showdown Against Girona

Madrid, Spain — RC Celta de Vigo is gearing up to solidify its position in the upper half of LaLiga as they face Girona FC this Saturday. The match comes after Girona’s disappointing 2-0 loss to Real Madrid, where they were outshot 22 to 8.

Celta de Vigo enters the game with a recent 1-0 victory over CA Osasuna on February 21, despite being outshot 11 to 9. The home team is currently 10th in the league with 31 points, while Girona sits in 12th with 32 points.

“Our goal is to stay competitive and aim for a better ranking in the league,” said Celta manager Carlos Carvalhal. “Every match is crucial, and we need to be at our best against Girona,” he added.

The match is particularly significant for Girona, which is looking to bounce back from its recent defeat. Coach Michel stated, “We need to learn from our last game and focus on a strong response. Celta is a tough opponent, but we are prepared.”

Kicking off at 4:15 p.m. local time at the Estadio Municipal de Balaídos, the match will be broadcasted on ESPN App. For viewers in the U.S., the kickoff translates to:

• Eastern Time: 10:15 a.m. ET

Injury reports indicate that Celta’s Williot Swedberg left the previous game with an injury, raising questions about his availability for this matchup. Meanwhile, Girona will be without midfielder Yangel Herrera due to suspension.

The last face-off between these two teams occurred on December 7, where Real Madrid defeated Girona convincingly 3-0. Girona, however, remains determined to capitalize on any opportunities against Celta.
