Latest Celta Vigo vs Getafe team news
Celta are concerned about the fitness of five players ahead of the opening match: Javi Rodriguez, Joseph Aidoo, Franco Cervi, Pablo Duran and Williot Swedberg all need to be tested later.
Several new signings could be given a chance to start, including Moriba, Zaragoza, and Jutglà, while 38-year-old veteran Iago Aspas is also ready to feature. Giraldez is expected to continue using a 3-4-3 formation with Oscar Mingueza as wing-back.
On Getafe's side, Domingos Duarte and Alex Sancris are suspended, while Juanmi is injured, so his debut is likely to be delayed.
New signing Davinchi could start at left-back, while Munoz, Neyou, and Kiko Femenia are also likely to feature from the start.
Striker Borja Mayoral – who only scored 5 goals last season due to injury, but who scored 17 times in the 2023-24 season – will be a major hope in Getafe's attack this season.

Latest football match prediction: Celta Vigo vs Getafe
Celta just had their most successful La Liga season in nine years, finishing seventh and securing direct qualification to the Europa League group stage.
The Galician team will have to balance domestic and European competitions, but with their current squad quality, they can certainly aim for another European qualification spot this season.
Coach Claudio Giraldez has welcomed five new signings during the summer transfer window, including Ilaix Moriba from RB Leipzig, along with Ferran Jutglà, Borja Iglesias, Bryan Zaragoza and goalkeeper Ionut Radu.
Conversely, Celta parted ways with Jorgen Strand Larsen and Fer Lopez, both moving to Wolverhampton Wanderers, bringing the club around €50 million (£43 million).
Last season, Celta won both matches against Getafe, including a 1-0 home victory in the first leg in November 2024.
Meanwhile, Getafe finished the season in 13th place, earning 42 points from 11 wins, 9 draws, and 18 losses. They were only 2 points above the relegation zone, so Jose Bordalás's team had to improve this season if they wanted to aim for the top half of the table.
Getafe were also very active in the summer transfer window, with Juanmi from Real Betis being the biggest signing. In addition, Abdel Abqar and Yvan Neyou also joined the team.
Getafe's biggest loss was their key central defender Omar Alderete, who moved to Sunderland for a fee of €11.6 million (£10 million).
In terms of head-to-head record, Celta has a slight advantage with 11 wins compared to Getafe's 10, with the remaining 9 matches ending in draws after 30 encounters in all competitions.
