6833
There are two matches to be played in the Spanish La Liga on the 26th of August including the meeting between Girona and Celta Vigo.
The game will be played at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi and the hosts begin the weekend in 10th place on 3 points while the visitors are in 16th place on 1 point.
Girona come into the match on the back of a 3-1 home victory over Getafe on Monday night.
Having opened the scoring shortly before half time, Girona doubled their advantage 2 minutes into the second half. A third goal sealed maximum points in the 64th minute although Getafe did score a consolation goal.
That was the first victory and points of the season for Girona having lost 1-0 at Valencia on the opening weekend of the 2022/23 La Liga season.
The only goal of the match was scored on the stroke of half time from the penalty spot following a handball and Girona could not find a way back into the game in the second half.
If we go back to their previous season in the Spanish topflight, which was 2019, the win over Getafe ended a run of 4 straight defeats.
Trends show Girona have scored in 6 of their last 7 home La Liga fixtures and beat Celta Vigo in their most recent La Liga meeting on home soil.
Celta Vigo travel to the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi having suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the defending champions last weekend.
Having conceded from the penalty spot in the 14th minute, Celta Vigo equalised in the same manner to the delight of the home fans just 9 minutes later. However, Real Madrid scored a second shortly before half time and added two further goals inside the first 20 minutes of the second half.
That result means Celta Vigo have 1 point to their name having been held to a 2-2 draw at home by Espanyol on the opening weekend of the season. Celta Vigo were 2-0 up going into the final 20 minutes of the match but conceded twice, including a 90th minute penalty.
Trends show Celta Vigo have been struggling on the road in La Liga and they have won only 1 of their last 10 away league fixtures.
Team news and Girona will be without the injured trio of Borja Garcia, Ibrahima Kebe, and Bernardo Espinosa.
Celta Vigo have no injury or suspension concerns so should be at full strength for this game.
Girona will be buoyed by their victory on Monday night and should carry that confidence through to this match. Celta Vigo do not have a good recent away record and this game could end in a victory for the home team, with Girona keeping a clean sheet in the process.
