Celta Vigo host Racing Santander at Abanca Balaidos in Vigo in a LaLiga fixture that pits two sides against each other from very different points on the table and with very different momentum.

Claudio Giraldez's Celta have struggled badly for results this season. They sit 17th in the LaLiga standings and have not won any of their last five league matches, picking up three draws and suffering two defeats in that run. A first-round Europa League exit to Omonia Nicosia has added to the pressure around the club.

Racing Santander arrive in 10th place but carry the scars of a brutal week. Jose Lopez's side were torn apart 7-2 by Barcelona at Spotify Camp Nou in their last outing, a result that exposed serious defensive vulnerabilities. Three penalties conceded in that game will give Giraldez's staff plenty to study.

Racing did show resilience earlier in the week, beating Deportivo Alaves 2-1 before the trip to Catalonia, so Lopez will hope his side can rediscover that competitive edge quickly. Pablo Garcia, the 20-year-old attacker signed from Real Betis before the transfer deadline, has been part of the projected XI and could be a threat on the counter.

For Celta, this is a fixture they must win. Playing at home against a side that just conceded seven, Giraldez's team have no excuses. Three points could lift them out of the relegation zone and buy the manager some breathing room.

Claudio Giraldez names a projected XI with Ionut Andrei Radu in goal and a front line featuring Ferran Jutgla alongside Hugo Alvarez and Hugo Gonzalez. Iago Aspas is absent through injury, a significant blow for the hosts given his importance to their attacking play. There are no suspensions listed for Celta.

Jose Lopez's projected XI for Racing is led by Julen Agirrezabala in goal, with Sergio Canales and Pablo Garcia in midfield. Andres Martin, Simon Eriksson, and Pedro Felipe are all ruled out through injury. There are no suspensions for the visitors, and updates will be added closer to kick-off if the situation changes.

Form

Celta Vigo have not won in their last five matches across all competitions, recording three draws and two defeats. Their most recent result was a 1-0 loss to Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League, and they also drew 1-1 with Malaga in LaLiga. Celta drew 1-1 with Getafe and 0-0 with Real Sociedad before losing 0-2 to Athletic Bilbao in that five-match run. They scored just four goals and conceded six across those fixtures.

Racing Santander have recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 7-2 defeat at Barcelona, while their best result in that run was a 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves. They also beat Elche 3-2 and drew 2-2 with Villarreal, but lost 3-2 to Rayo Vallecano. Racing scored 15 goals across those five games but conceded 14, underlining a defensive record that has been a persistent concern.

Head-to-Head Record

The most recent meeting between these clubs came in the Copa del Rey in January 2025, when Celta Vigo won 3-2 away at Racing Santander. Prior to that, the sides met three times in LaLiga between 2005 and 2007, with Racing winning two of those fixtures and one ending in a 2-2 draw. Across all five recorded meetings, Celta hold a narrow edge, winning two compared to Racing's two wins, with one draw.
