Match Facts:
RC Celta (10th, 47 pts):
-The hosts are looking to turn their fortunes around in a fixture in which they have only come out on top in two of the last 11 league meetings (D2 L7).
- Iago Aspas, who has recently extended his contract with his boyhood club until 2022, could be the key man for Eduardo Berizzo's side once again. The striker has netted 35% of Celta's goals this season, which is the highest percentage in LaLiga Santander.
SD Eibar (8th, 35 pts):
- The Basque outfit are enjoying a strong end to the LaLiga Santander campaign, having strung together a four-match unbeaten run. Eibar's top-flight status was confirmed in midweek and qualifying for Europe next year remains a realistic target.
- Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar discussed the home side's strengths during his press conference: "Celta have that battling spirit. You have to be right on your game because they play with great intensity. I think we can equal them in that regard. They focus on individual duels, and so whoever comes out on top in them will have a huge advantage."
