AI match recap
This is a significant league-stage match for Celta, who need to turn Balaídos into a source of points after an inconsistent European opening. Union arrive in stronger continental form and with a compact, difficult-to-break defensive record, so the visitors have a credible route through pressing and transitions. The market consensus still gives Celta a narrow home edge, but that rests on the hosts controlling territory rather than allowing an end-to-end contest. Reported Celta absences in central defence, midfield and attack make the confirmed team sheets especially important.

See the full AI analysisInjuries and absences
Celta’s reported issues around Starfelt, Román and several attacking options would weaken continuity through the spine of the side if confirmed. Union’s external availability list also points to potential disruption in defence and midfield, so the official squads should be checked close to kick-off.
