Celta de Vigo

- Claudio Giráldez has done an impressive job at Celta de Vigo since taking over in March 2024, getting his team playing in an interesting possession-based style that is as tactically fluid as any team in the division.
- His side can set up with a back five or line-up in a 3-4-3 or 3-2-5 formation with the ball, and they are patient, wide and effective when they can get their forwards into the half-spaces.
Real Oviedo

- He sets up in a rigid 4-2-3-1 formation that prioritizes balance and tries to make the best of the transition moments to get numbers forward and behind the ball quickly.

- Almada has the team playing well, but they are struggling on the road, with no win in their last 3.
