Getafe preview: Waiting for the season to end
Despite Getafe's poor form lately and six losses in a row before their eventual win over Mallorca in the last round, they aren't in danger of relegation going into the final matchday of this La Liga season. Based on these results, it seems that their players clocked out a while ago and are already looking forward to the summer.
Meanwhile, Domingos Duarte and Alex Sola will likely miss this match through injuries, while Luis Milla is suspended.

Celta Vigo preview: Hoping to clinch a spot in the Europa League
While Celta Vigo have been quite inconsistent lately, winning four and losing four of their last eight matches in the league, they are still having a good season overall and are currently seventh in the standings. A win over Getafe in the last round would ensure they stay seventh and secure a place in the Europa League, but a loss might cause them to miss European football entirely.
Jailson and Carl Starfelt are out of this game through injuries.

Player to watch: Iago Aspas
Despite nearing his final playing years, Aspas is still able to have a huge impact for Celta Vigo in La Liga and his nine goals and four assists in the league this season prove it.
The 37-year-old has been at the club for nearly his entire career, with a couple of seasons away only, and he can help Celta secure a spot in the Europa League with a win in this game, where his experience will certainly come in handy.
