Celta Vigo take on the visitors Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of Europa League round of 32. The game will be played on Thursday, February 16th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo).
Celta Vigo aren’t in their best conditions before the start of the playoff stage of Europa League. The team managed to win only one of their last six matches and have problems on both ends in recent matches. As to performance at own turf, the team shows solid results, gaining 10 win four draws and suffering three defeats in 17 home fixtures played at home stadium in all competitions this season. We should note that the hosting side recorded two of these home defeated in the very beginning of the season and failed to gain points at home only one time in following 15 matches since the middle of September.

Shakhtar showed excellent results in the group stage of the competition, winning their quartet with six wins in six matches and 21-5 aggregate goal difference. Upcoming match will be the first official game for the team since the middle of December so visiting time might be going to need some time to get back on tracks. Fonseca’s men played six friendlies during winter break, taking four wins, one draw and on defeat, so we can expect solid performance from the team.
The opponents haven’t faced one another before. We should expect a quite fascinating match in the first leg at Vigo as both the hosts and the visitors stick to attacking football and they should combine at least couple of goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals.
