"Extending on their Europa League adventure on February 26th as they secured a 3-1 aggregate victory against PAOK, Claudio Giraldez's side have won each of their other four appearances across all competitions. Likewise, despite suffering major heartbreak at the hands of Los Blancos last time out, Celta should be excited by their overall success on home soil."
"Getting the New Year underway with a dominant 4-1 romp against Valencia, Giraldez's camp have won six of their last eight showdowns in front of their own supporters."
Celta Vigo welcomes Lyon for a Europa League first-leg encounter on Thursday. The hosts have demonstrated impressive recent form, winning four of their last five matches across all competitions following a 3-1 aggregate Europa League victory against PAOK. Despite a 2-1 home loss to Real Madrid, Celta maintains strong domestic form with six wins in their last eight home matches. Key players include veteran striker Iago Aspas and midfielder Miguel Roman. Defender Pablo Duran remains doubtful due to a knee injury. Lyon arrives after an extended winning streak but recently drew 1-1 at home against Paris FC, potentially affecting their momentum heading into this crucial first-leg fixture.
