Celta Vigo will resume their 2022-23 campaign on Thursday (December 22) at the Urbieta Udal Kiroldegia against fourth-tier Gernika in the second round of the Copa Del Rey.
Los Celestes thrashed Algar 6-1 in the previous round, with Franco Cervi, Carles Perez, Oscar Rodriguez, Jorgen Larsen, Javi Galan and Kevin Vazquez scoring to end their seven-game winless run.
It was their last game before the midseason break. Following some time off, the Galician outfit returned to action earlier this month to play in a few friendlies.
Celta Vigo played out a 1-1 draw with Portuguese side Boavista before picking up a 3-1 win over Premier League's Brentford.
Gernika, meanwhile, saw off Leganes 6-5 on penalties after playing out a goalless draw from open play to reach the second round of the cup for just the third time.
