- Celta surprisingly lost away to Rayo Vallecano last weekend. It was just the second defeat for Eduardo Berizzo's side this season and they will be eager to get back to winning ways to boost their hopes of European football. However, their record against Eibar is not an encouraging one – one draw and five losses, though these were all in the second division.
- The Galicians have lost their edge up front and have suffered as a result. In their last two games, they have failed to score and they have struggled to create goal-scoring opportunities, too. Nolito, their top assist provider, needs to return to top form if they are to return to goalscoring ways. Indeed, Celta's dependence on Nolito and Larrivey is proving to be problematic. The two account for over 70% of Celta's goals this term.
