Awka Ibom, Nigeria — Tomorrow for Balaidos Stadium, Celta Vigo go face Girona as dem dey look for their first victory for dis La Liga season. After four matches, Celta don gather only three points, dey sit for 14th spot, while Girona dey bottom of the table with zero points. Na serious wahala! (Boys, if dem no fit win tomorrow, dem fit as well just start planning for relegation party!)
Celta Vigo begin dem campaign with wahala, dem collect 2-0 loss from Getafe, and since then, dem don draw three matches against Mallorca, Real Betis, and Villarreal. E no sweet for dem at all. Last season, dem sabi play better, finish seventh and enter Europa League. But this season, no be so, as dem sign players like Ilaix Moriba and Bryan Zaragoza, dem never gel well finish. (Wetin dem bin dey do during preseason? Dance competition?)
As for Girona, dem don suffer since dis season start. Dem open with 3-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano, follow am with 5-0 beat from Villarreal, then another 2-0 from Sevilla. Na serious gbege! E mean say dem don concede ten goals and only score once. Dem need to step up or else their fans go start to carry placards. Dem get new players like Vladyslav Vanat, wey dem pick for £13m from Dynamo Kiev, and him need to start scoring like him life depend on am. (No pressure, my guy!)
History dey show say Celta don win 8 matches against Girona from di last 21 encounters but e don reach since August 2022 when dem fit beat dem. Now wey dem dey play for home, dem gatz turn di table. Fingers crossed! Dem fit dey miss Marcos Alonso because him dey carry muscle issue, but the squad still dey solid. (Pray make everybody dey fit on game day, no be so? No be wetin dem dey call ‘inurance’?)
As both teams dey look for three points tomorrow, wetin you go expect? E go sharp sharp! Celta fit take am small as dem dey look to return to form, and Girona go just dey try to make sure say dem no fall for relegation. Who go finish better tomorrow? Abeg, make we find out! (No be say dem go turn wetin dem dey call classic, but e go surely entertain!)
