Celta Vigo seek a response to a loss in their one-match Europa League sample, while Juventus arrive after a win and sit provisionally first. The listed absences make team selection another key question.
Before kickoff
A response to the provisional table
Celta Vigo host Juventus at Municipal de Balaídos on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 19:00 UTC in League Stage - 2 of the UEFA Europa League. The provisional standings place Juventus #1 with 3 points from 1 game, while Celta are #25 with 0 points from 1 game. Juventus are 3 points ahead of Celta. That gives Celta a clear opportunity to respond, while Juventus will seek to protect their early position.
One match is the form sample
Celta’s most recent result was a loss and Juventus’ was a win. Each form record covers 1 match, so it offers context rather than a settled trend. The observed formations were Celta’s 3-4-1-2 and Juventus’ 3-4-2-1, each used in 1 match. The line-ups show the structures recorded so far, but not by themselves how either side will press, attack or manage the game.
Absences add selection questions
Celta list P. Duran, J. El Abdellaoui, B. Iglesias, M. Roman and C. Starfelt as missing through injury. Juventus list J. Boga, J. Ekhator, K. Grabara, M. Locatelli, K. Thuram and K. Yildiz as missing through injury, with A. Durmisi listed for a red card. M. Milik is inactive, while D. Rugani and E. Zhegrova are off the roster.
At kickoff, which observed structure—Celta’s 3-4-1-2 or Juventus’ 3-4-2-1—will produce the stronger response to the contrasting one-match form?
