The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this weekend as Granada take on Celta Vigo in an important clash at the Los Carmenes Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have been fairly inconsistent this season and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Granada are currently in seventh place in the La Liga standings and will took to push for a place in the top six in the coming months. The home side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Osasuna last weekend and will need to bounce back in this game.

Celta Vigo, on the other hand, have slipped to 10th place in the La Liga standings and need to turn their season around this month. The Galicians have failed to manage a victory in their last five games and have plenty of work to do ahead of this fixture.


Granada vs Celta Vigo Head-to-Head

Celta Vigo have a good record against Granada and have won eight games out of a total of 17 matches played between the two teams. Granada have managed only three games against Celta Vigo and need to be at their best this weekend.

The previous meeting between the two La Liga sides took place in November last year and ended in a 3-1 victory for Celta Vigo. Granada were well below their best on the day and will look to put in a better performance on Sunday.
