Valladolid have lost seven of their last eight games and have scored in six. They have failed to score in three of their last six home games. They are unbeaten in five home meetings with Celta, winning three.
Juanmi Latasa picked up his fifth booking of the season last week and will serve a suspension, while Mario Martín returns from suspension. Joseph Aidoo is back in training and is in contention to start. David Torres was subbed off in the first half last week and is doubtful.
Celta, meanwhile, have won three of their last five games, with all the wins coming at home. Three of their last four away games have been draws. They have scored thrice in their last two meetings with Valladolid.
Hugo Álvarez is nursing a knee injury and is doubtful, while Williot Swedberg is a confirmed absentee with a hamstring injury.
