Juventus take their European campaign to Vigo on the second matchday of the Europa League league phase, with Luciano Spalletti’s side set to face Celta at Balaídos in their black third kit.
The occasion has brought together two clubs with different domestic calendars but a shared need to establish early momentum in Europe. Before the match, Celta’s directors presented Juventus with two table-football figures in the colours of the respective sides during the official lunch between the delegations.
Spalletti’s expected Juventus selection
Juventus are listed in a 3-4-2-1 system, with Guglielmo Vicario in goal. Pierre Kalulu, Federico Gatti and Lloyd Kelly are expected to make up the defensive line.
Weston McKennie, Sarr, Teun Koopmeiners and Andrea Cambiaso are named across midfield, while Francisco Conceição and Alajbegovic support Nick Woltemade in attack.
Celta, coached by Claudio Giráldez, are expected to begin in a 3-4-3 formation. Ionut Radu is named in goal behind Javi Rodriguez, Lago and Marcos Alonso. Rueda, Ilaix Moriba, Febas and Carreira form the midfield, with Hugo Alvarez, Ferran Jutglà and Swedberg leading the home side’s attack.
