Match Facts:

Celta (5th, 48 pts):

- Celta continue to dream of bringing European football back to Balaidos next season. With eight matchdays to go, they remain poised to do just that, sitting fifth after two consecutive wins.

- Eduardo Berizzo's side have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five fixtures, although the game in which they did concede saw them suffer a 7-1 rout at the hands of Real Madrid three matchdays ago.

- There have been 32 derbies between Celta and Deportivo in Vigo, with Celta winning 15, drawing 10 and losing seven.

Deportivo (10th, 36 pts):

- Deportivo ended a 13-game winless streak with a 2-1 victory over UD Levante last time out, which gave them a bit more breathing space in the comfort of mid-table.

- Victor Sanchez's men have lost their last three matches on the road and in fact haven't won away from Riazor since November, when they were 2-0 victors on their visit to UD Las Palmas.

- Deportivo also ran out 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture at home to Celta, courtesy of a Lucas Perez strike and a Jonny own goal.

What's on in Vigo this weekend?

The Vigo Porsche Centre, located just 3 kilometres from Balaidos, is staging an exclusive, limited-time Andy Warhol exhibition featuring 10 pieces by the American artist. Up until Saturday lunchtime, visitors will be able to behold some of Warhol's best known works, including the portraits of Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix, and one of the iconic Campbell's Soup Cans. Admission is free of charge and, what's more, on Saturday morning there will be special activities for kids, who will be able to play board games and try their hands at some printmaking to explore the exhibition more actively.
