Team News

Injuries have been relatively kind to Celta Vigo at this stage of the season, with only Carlos Dominguez expected to be sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Ionut Radu recovered from a recent injury setback to feature in the starting lineup against Espanyol last time out but he might be given the night off on Thursday.

As for the hosts, there have been no fresh injuries reported ahead of this clash against La Liga opposition.

Keeper Inaki Alvarez is in line to feature from the start between the sticks, while defenders Luis Martinez, Hudson Davis, David Pons and Jordi Mendez are all contenders to start in the backline.

Sant Andreu vs Celta Vigo Odds

Celta Vigo are understandably the heavy favourites to win this cup game inside the 90 minutes at 1/6, while Saint Andreu are 10/1 to stun their La Liga opponents.

A draw at the end of 90 minutes on Thursday is available at 9/2, while Celta Vigo with a -2 handicap are currently 8/5.

Over 3.5 Goals @ 11/8

Given the gulf in quality between these two sides, going for the over 3.5 total goals appeals in this tie.

Saint Andreu currently ply their trade in the fourth tier of Spanish football and occupy seventh place in Segunda Federacion - Group 3.

With just one win in their last five league games, a 2-1 defeat to nine-man Girona B in their last outing, it would be easy to expect Saint Andreu to be out of their depth against Celta Vigo, even if the visitors make wholesale changes for the trip to Catalonia.

Scoring 13 goals in their last six away games in all competitions, Celta have been strong on the road of late.

Winning five of those last six away matches, Celta will be confident of claiming yet another victory and can do so in convincing fashion, given their goalscoring form away from the home comforts of the Estadio de Balaídos.

Saint Andreu have conceded 15 goals in their 13 games in the fourth tier this season so far and going for over 3.5 total goal in this game against La Liga opposition catches the eye for Thursday’s clash in Catalonia.
