AI match recap

Celta have the home-stage advantage but arrive still searching for the result that settles their season, with a European trip adding physical and selection pressure. The absence of Iago Aspas places more responsibility on Jutglà, Swedberg and Hugo Álvarez to convert Celta's possession into clear chances. Racing bring attacking pace and creativity, yet their defensive record away from home has invited pressure. This looks set to hinge on Celta's wing-back width against Racing's ability to break through Vicente, Canales and the wide runners.

Injuries and absences

Aspas is the major confirmed Celta loss because he normally connects midfield possession to the final action; Jutglà becomes the focal point. Racing miss Andrés Martín and may also need to manage Pedro Felipe's fitness, weakening their attacking depth and potentially their defensive continuity.
