Previous Celta Vigo and Lille Match Analysis

Last 5 Celta Vigo Matches: Celta Vigo 2-0 Athletic Club (H) LaLiga Albacete 2-2 Celta Vigo 3-0 penalties (A) Copa Del Ray Real Oviedo 0-0 Celta Vigo (A) LaLiga Celta Vigo 4-1 Valencia (H) LaLiga Sevilla 0-1 Celta Vigo (A) LaLiga

Some very strong form recently for Celta Vigo as they go into this game 3 wins 2 draws and 0 losses in the last 5 matches excluding the penalty shootout. However, that loss in the cup might have knocked their confidence a bit as they would’ve hoped and expected to go further through the competition, however, since then they have kept 2 clean sheets won 2 and drawn one of the next 3 matches. So, any of the confidence that might have been damaged would’ve been regained. They have been good at both ends of the pitch having kept 3 clean sheets and only conceding 3 goals. To add onto their excellent defence, they have scored 9 goals in the last 5 matches, they will be looking to keep this run going and bounce back from one cup exit.

Last 5 Lille Matches: Auxerre 3-4 Lille (A) Ligue 1 St Maur Lusitanos 0-1 Lille (A) Coupe de France Lille 0-2 Rennes (H) Ligue 1 Lille 1-2 Lyon (H) Coupe de France PSG 3-0 Lille (A) Ligue 1

Not the form that Lille want going into a game this important having lost their last 3 matches and having seen a cup exit. They have played some strong teams in their last 5 matches however, they would’ve hoped for one positive result going into this game to boost morals but instead it highlighted their key issue and that is their poor defence recently. 10 goals conceded in the last 5 matches and only having kept a single clean sheet isn’t something you want going into such an important match. They have found that this has been their biggest issue as they have struggled to get results especially when away from home.

Key Players to Watch: Celta Vigo vs Lille

Borja Iglesias (Celta Vigo): The top scorer at the club this season, the 33-year-old has been very good in front of goal so far this season having managed to over perform his xG this season. His experience has added a lot to Celta Vigo so far this season and after scoring 3 goals in the last 3 matches, he will be hoping that he can keep this form going into the Europa League helping his team get closer to the next round and improve his tally of 2 goals in 6 games in Europe.

Hakon Arnar Haraldsson (Lille): A player who this season has often played on the wing will likely this game have to take up a deeper role as Lille see a suspension to one of their key midfielders. Therefore, he is a player to keep an eye on as while he is having a very good season so far, this new position and role could see a different type of performance from the 22-year-old.
