AD Ceuta FC vs Celta de Vigo II: Ceuta Aim to End Point
Updated
AD Ceuta FC welcome Celta de Vigo II to the Estadio Municipal Alfonso Murube on Saturday afternoon for a Segunda División Matchday 4 encounter. The hosts are still searching for their first points of the campaign after two defeats, while the visitors arrive from a midweek fixture against Castellón.
Team News and Injury Latest
No fresh injury concerns have been reported for either side, allowing both managers to select from near-full squads. Ceuta are expected to lean on the same core that claimed a 2-1 friendly win over Málaga in August, while Celta Vigo B can call on several players who have already found the net this term.
Ceuta’s Form: A Rocky Start to the Season
Ceuta have endured a difficult opening to the league campaign, sitting at the foot of the early table with zero points and a goal difference of minus six from their two matches. Their last five results across all competitions read LWWLL, a sequence that includes the encouraging pre-season victory over Málaga. On home soil, the Estadio Municipal Alfonso Murube will need to become a fortress if they are to climb out of trouble.
Celta Vigo B’s Early Campaign and Attacking Threats
Celta Vigo B’s own start to the season has been mixed, with their most recent outing a midweek meeting against Castellón. The visitors possess attacking threats across the pitch: Álvaro Marín has already scored twice this season, while Andrés Antañón, Bernard Somuah, and Ousmane Camara have each contributed a goal. Their ability to create chances from wide areas and set-pieces could prove pivotal.
Key Battle: Ceuta’s Defence Under Pressure
Conceding freely in the opening weeks has put Ceuta’s backline firmly in the spotlight. The hosts must tighten up against a Celta Vigo B side that has shown it can spread goals around the team. If Ceuta can keep Marín and his teammates quiet for the first hour, the contest could tilt their way, but any repeat of recent defensive lapses will be punished.
Following this match, Ceuta travel to face Eibar in their next league assignment, while Celta Vigo B host Eibar on September 13. A first positive result of the season would give the home side a platform to build on before that testing trip.
