Real Sociedad – Celta Vigo Preview: Recent Form, News, and Probable Lineups
You can find all the information about both teams right here, including the probable Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo lineups:
Real Sociedad
The only team that's even remotely close to Barcelona and Real Madrid this season in La Liga has been Real Sociedad. The team from San Sebastian is likely too far behind Barca to real contend for the title, but they are in third place in the standings with a four-point advantage over Atletico Madrid in fourth place, which is pretty great for this team.
All of this is even more impressive when we consider the injuries that Real Sociedad is dealing with all the time. Even now, the team is without Aritz Elustondo, Umar Sadiq, Andoni Gorosabel, David Silva, Jon Pacheco, Mohamed Ali-Cho, and Martin Merquelanz.
Real Sociedad Predicted Lineup:
Remiro – Barrenetxea, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Rico – Kubo, Mendez, Zubimendi, Merino, Oyarzabal – Sorloth
Celta Vigo
After spending some time in the relegation zone, Celta Vigo managed to get into solid form recently and climb up the standings a bit. In the last six games in La Liga, Celta has three wins, one draw, and a couple of losses, which is a solid haul for them this season. The team is now sitting in 14th place in the standings, but they are still dangerously close to the relegation zone, so there's no room for relaxation.
Meanwhile, Celta Vigo will again be without injured Agustin Marchesin, but the rest of the team is in good shape right now.
Celta Vigo Predicted Lineup:
Villar – Mingueza, Aidoo, Nunez, Galan – Perez, Veiga, Beltran, De la Torre – Aspas, Larsen

Player to Watch: Mikel Merino
We've seen many Real Sociedad players step up this season and it's hard to choose just one of them for this duel against Celta Vigo. Still, our choice as the player to watch is Mikel Merino.
The Spanish midfielder is the team's top packer this season as he notched seven assists in La Liga so far, along with scoring one goal. So, Celta Vigo will have to stop the creative Merino if they want to get a good result here.
