Celta Vigo will be hoping home advantage can help them produce a response when they welcome Juventus on Thursday night. The Galicians have endured a mixed start to the season and were beaten in their Europa League opener, leaving them in need of a positive result against one of the competition's biggest names.
Juventus, meanwhile, arrive in Spain after an emphatic opening-day victory and will be confident of maintaining their momentum, although Celta's disciplined defensive record could make this a far more competitive contest than the visitors' European opener.
Celta Vigo vs Juventus H2H stats
There is very little recent history between these clubs, although they have previously met in European competition. Their most memorable encounter came in the 1999/00 UEFA Cup, when Celta produced a remarkable 4-0 home victory over Juventus in the second leg. Juventus had won the first leg 1-0, meaning Celta progressed 4-1 on aggregate.
Celta Vigo team overview
Celta have made a somewhat underwhelming start to their domestic campaign, recording just one win across their first seven La Liga matches, although they also played out a draw four times during this period.
They have scored only eight goals, but defensively, however, Celta have been considerably stronger, conceding just 0.8 goals per game and averaging 1.2 expected goals conceded.
Celta’s latest league match ended in a goalless draw at Elche, extending their unbeaten away run to four matches. They have lost just once in their last six fixtures at home and away across all competitions.
There is encouraging team news ahead of Juventus. Iago Aspas and Sebastián Cáceres have both recovered from injury and are available, while Miguel Román, Carl Starfelt and Jones El-Abdellaoui remain unavailable. Starfelt is expected to miss around six weeks with a thigh injury.

Juventus team overview
Juventus began their Europa League campaign in emphatic fashion, crushing NEC Nijmegen 5-0 in Turin. They have also been defensively reliable in Serie A, conceding only four goals in their opening five league matches before Sunday's 1-1 draw at Cagliari.
The draw in Sardinia nevertheless highlighted a recurring issue: Juventus created enough opportunities to win but lacked efficiency in front of goal. Randal Kolo Muani eventually equalised in the 81st minute and then hit the crossbar late on. Spalletti subsequently admitted that his side needed to improve their finishing.
Juventus will again be without several important players. Kenan Yıldız, Manuel Locatelli, Khéphren Thuram, Jérémie Boga, Juan Cabal and Jeff Ekhator are among those unavailable, while Lloyd Kelly is suspended.

Prediction
With Juventus also carrying a substantial injury list and Celta potentially welcoming back Aspas, this could be considerably closer than the respective Matchday 1 results suggest. Celta have conceded just three goals in their last six fixtures across all competitions, which should serve as a warning to Juventus given their lack of finishing prowess. Celta may just edge this one by avoiding defeat, especially with the backing of the home crowd.
Prediction: Celta Vigo to Win or Draw (Double chance 1X).
Three reasons we expect Double chance 1X
- Celta’s defensive record is impressive. They have conceded just three goals in their last six matches across all competitions.
- Strong away form and overall consistency. Celta have lost only one of their last six matches across all competitions.
- Juventus have struggled for consistency in front of goal: The Italian side have not always been clinical this season, which could be costly against a Celta team that has shown it can defend effectively.
