Celta de Vigo v Juventus: confirmed lineups and pre-match updates for Europa League clash
Celta de Vigo will host Juventus at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos on October 15, 2026, in a UEFA Europa League 2026-27 fixture. The match is being previewed with confirmed starting lineups and other pre-match updates.
Celta arrive having registered only one win in their last five matches and remain inconsistent in recent outings. In their opening Europa League game this season they lost 0-1 to Omonia Nicosia after conceding a goal in the final moments, a result that highlighted issues in the attacking third. Claudio Giráldez is the Celta coach named in the preview, and the article notes that playing at home should bolster the LaLiga side's confidence.
Juventus are reported to have underperformed in their last two matches but began their Europa League campaign with a 5-0 win over NEC Nijmegen. Luciano Spalletti is identified as Juventus' manager for the tie, and the preview warns that playing away could be a disadvantage for the Old Lady in this fixture.
Ilaix Moriba is singled out as a player Celta will look to for an improved showing; the 23-year-old is described as able to control the midfield and also capable of scoring, and the preview says he will seek to help Celta secure their first Europa League win of the season.
For Juventus, Randal Kolo Muani is noted to have contributed a goal and an assist in the club's opening Europa League match. The piece also refers to a Frenchman in the Juventus squad who "is going to be one of the main assets in the final third" and who "is coming off scoring a crucial equaliser in the previous Serie A outing against Cagliari and helping his side secure a point."
The fixture constitutes Celta de Vigo's second league phase outing of the UEFA Europa League 2026-27 campaign.
