Celta Seeks Victory at the Red and White Stronghold
Celta is preparing for an exciting match at the Metropolitano, seeking their first victory at Atlético’s stadium. Despite the notable absence of Hugo Álvarez, the Celta coach recovers key players such as Carl Starfelt, Ilaix Moriba, and Iago Aspas, who are likely to start after being absent in the previous match.
Sergio Carreira is emerging as the main candidate to occupy the left flank, although the option of him playing on the right, giving the left lane to Óscar Mingueza, is not ruled out. The defense will once again feature the usual trio, with Javi Rodríguez, Starfelt, and Marcos Alonso guarding the goal.
In midfield, the return of Ilaix Moriba, after serving his suspension, strengthens the double pivot alongside Fran Beltrán. The attack presents various options, with Iago Aspas ready to enjoy his first start of the year, likely accompanied by Alfon and Pablo Durán.
A gala eleven to try to storm the Metropolitano and add three vital points. The Celta fans are confident in the talent and determination of their players to achieve a historic feat in Colchonero territory. The likely starting eleven will be: Guaita; Javi Rodríguez, Starfelt, Marcos Alonso; Carreira, Beltrán, Moriba, Mingueza; Aspas, Pablo Durán, and Alfon.
