Pre-match preview

Omonia Nicosia

David Akintola has signed for Omonia Nicosia this week, arriving from Hull City on a two-year deal, though he is not expected to start against Celta de Vigo. Mihlali Mayambela is expected to drop out of the side instead, after being substituted in each of his four starts this run.

Loïs Diony, Muamer Tankovic and Jaden Montnor are expected to retain their places up front, all three having also been substituted in every one of their starts in that spell. At the back, Jean-Kévin Duverne and Senou Coulibaly are both expected to start again, having featured more often there than Loïc Négo and Stefan Simič respectively.

Celta de Vigo

Celta de Vigo will be without Iago Aspas for their Europa League opener against Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus. The forward suffered a quadriceps strain after coming on late against Malaga and has started only twice in the last five matches.

At the back, Sebastián Cáceres Ramos is expected to build on his first start against Malaga. Right-back has changed hands regularly over the last five matches, with Javi Rodríguez, Álvaro Núñez and Yoel Lago also starting there. Carl Starfelt, who has scored once across his two recent starts, did not play against Malaga, while Lago is expected to retain his place in central defence.
