Match Facts:
RC Celta (8th, 35 pts):
- There was good news this week for the Vigo-based outfit as Nolito received the all-clear. Eduardo Berizzo's star striker returns to the fold after a 16-game absence.
- Celta haven't won a game since they beat Levante UD 4-3 on 16 January. The Galicians have lost their last four on the bounce and the hosts will be going all out to put some points on the board here.
- On their own patch Celta have registered four defeats, three draws and wins in tough games against Rayo Vallecano, FC Barcelona, R. Sporting, RCD Espanyol and Levante.
SD Eibar (6th, 36 pts):
- Eibar's 2-0 win over Levante last time out put a halt to a three-game streak during which Jose Luis Mendibilbar's men hadn't collected a single point. The visitors will be keen to get something from this one.
- The current crop continue to make club history in the Liga BBVA. Victory over Levante saw the Basque outfit put themselves onto 36 points for the season, surpassing last season's total points tally of 35.
- Borja Baston will pose the biggest threat to the Celta backline. The Madrid-born hitman was on target in the last matchday and he's now got 16 goals to his name this term.
What to do in Vigo this weekend?
A must-see when visiting Vigo is the city's Monte del Castro Park, a green space which offers spectacular views overlooking the Galician capital and its estuary. It's not your typical city garden given it's location on a beautiful hill right in the heart of Vigo. It's the site on which the city's foundations were laid and was also where its earliest settlers took root.
