Sevilla are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this weekend as they take on Celta Vigo on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Celta Vigo are currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings and are yet to hit their stride this season. The Galicians eased past Osasuna by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will want a similar result this weekend.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have excelled this season. The Andalusian giants were held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia this week and will want to bounce back in this match.
Sevilla vs Celta Vigo Head-to-Head
Sevilla have a good record against Celta Vigo and have won 15 out of 33 matches played between the two teams. Celta Vigo have managed 13 victories against Sevilla and can potentially trouble their opponents on Saturday.
The previous game between the two Spanish sides took place in October last year and ended in a 1-0 victory for Sevilla. Rafa Mir scored the winning goal on the day and will want to replicate his heroics this weekend.
