Team news and projected lineups
Projected lineup — Celta Vigo (3-4-3): Radu; Yoel Lago, Starfelt, Marcos Alonso; El Abdellaoui, Ilaix Moriba, Miguel Román, Javi Galán; Iago Aspas, Pablo Durán, Hugo González.
Projected lineup — Málaga (4-4-2): Alfonso Herrero; Rafita, Ángel Recio, Einar Galilea, Carlos Puga; David Larrubia, Rafa Rodríguez, Dani Lorenzo, Juan Cruz; Ramón Enríquez, Chupe.
Celta are without Febas and the current availability feed also lists Borja Iglesias out, leaving Aspas, Durán and Hugo González as the projected front three. Málaga have a heavier absence list, including Murillo, Ochoa, Lobete, Calero and Heredia, while Dani Lorenzo is a doubt; that makes continuity around Herrero, Galilea, Larrubia and Chupe likely. For Celta Vigo vs Málaga, both XIs are pre-match projections based on the latest available lineup pattern and current availability; the official teams can still change before kick-off.

Both Celta home matches and both Málaga away matches cleared 1.5 goals. Celta's home games average 9.5 corners and Málaga's away games 11.0. The caution is that Málaga have scored zero away goals, so much of the goals support comes from what they concede.

Recent scorelines add context, but they do not settle the argument. Early-season finishing can distort a four- or five-match sample, and one unusually open game can move goal and corner averages sharply. For Celta Vigo vs Málaga, the relevant question is whether the pattern seen in the correct venue split repeats against an opponent with a different defensive and attacking profile.
