The 2020-21 edition of La Liga continues with yet another festive fixture as Celta Vigo host SD Huesca at the Balaidos Stadium on Wednesday. Celta Vigo have been resurgent in recent weeks and hold the upper hand in this game.
SD Huesca have endured a miserable La Liga campaign so far and are currently rooted to the bottom of the table. The away side held Levante to a 1-1 draw in its previous fixture and will need to pull off a similar performance against Celta Vigo this week.
Celta Vigo are currently in eighth place in the La Liga standings and have managed a stunning recovery after a poor start to the season. The Galicians were held to a draw by Getafe last week, however, and have a point to prove this Wednesday.
Celta Vigo vs SD Huesca Head-to-Head
Celta Vigo have faced SD Huesca on only six occasions in La Liga. SD Huesca have managed only one victory against Galicians and have lost three of these encounters, with two matches ending in draws.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in 2019 and ended in an exhilarating 3-3 draw. Iago Aspas bagged a goal and two assists on the day and will have to play a massive role for Celta Vigo this week.
