The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Almeria lock horns with Celta Vigo in a crucial encounter at the Estadio de Balaidos on Friday.
Celta Vigo vs Almeria Preview
Almeria are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have struggled to make an impact so far this season. The away side held Atletico Madrid to an admirable 2-2 draw last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The hosts played out a 2-2 draw against Cadiz in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
