Europa League 2025-2026: Celta Vigo-Lille, the likely lineups

Celta Vigo and Lille take on each other on the seventh day of the Europa League single group stage. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Balaidos. The Spaniards and French, paired in 18th place in the standings with 9 points, along with Paok and Young Boys, need crucial points to stay in the playoff zone.

Giraldez must do without the disqualified Moriba in midfield: in his place Roman is ready to partner Sotelo. In attack, Borja Iglesias is the only offensive reference, with Aspas and Swedberg on either side of him, defense headed by Starfelt.

Genesio relies on Giroud in attack, with Correia, Haraldsson and Sahraoui in support in the three-quarter. Midfield dike formed by Bentaleb and Mukau, who replaces the disqualified Bouaddi; in defense Meunier is ahead of Santos.

Probable lineups

Celta Vigo (3-4-3): Radu; J.Rodriguez, Starfelt, M.Alonso; Carreira, Sotelo, Roman, Mingueza; Aspas, B.Iglesias, Swedberg. All. Giraldez.

Lille (4-2-3-1): Ozer; Meunier, Ngoy, Mandi, Perraud; Mukau, Bentaleb; Correia, Harladsson, Sahraoui; Giroud. All: B.Genesio.
