Eduardo Coudet’s team comes to this match after an away draw, 0x0, in a trip to Osasuna’s stadium. The biggest weaknesses of the Vigo team are the defense of “enemies” counter-attacks and also the confrontations in aerial play, and their players have some flaws in this sector. Spaniard Iago Aspas is the player responsible for endangering the opposing defense, and his greatest quality is speed. It is possible that the home coach will put his team in a usual 4-4-2, where he will have Renato Tapia and Denis Suárez as midfield references. Coach Eduardo Coudet will be without central defender Jose Fontán as he is recovering from a thigh injury.
