Celta Vigo - Juventus

Celta Vigo and Juventus meet on 15 October 2026 for their Europa League matchday 2 encounter. Celta Vigo enter the fixture looking to recover from a narrow defeat against Omonia Nicosia in their opening continental outing, a result that sits alongside a recent run of draws in domestic play. Meanwhile, Juventus arrive with momentum from their emphatic victory over NEC Nijmegen, though they were held to a stalemate in their most recent league outing against Cagliari.

The collision at Abanca Balaidos sees both sides navigating significant personnel challenges, with Miguel Roman and Carl Starfelt sidelined for the hosts, while Juventus must manage without the injured Manuel Locatelli and Kenan Yildiz. The expected XI for Celta Vigo features Hugo Alvarez leading the attack, while Juventus look to Randal Kolo Muani to spearhead their offensive efforts. Whether the visitors can maintain their European form or if the home side finds a breakthrough remains the central question.
