Potential Match-Winners
- Borja Iglesias (Celta Vigo): Focal point of the attack, netting crucial goals with 8 penalties and a strong right footed finish record. His movement in the box has resulted in a high chance conversion rate for Celta strikers.
- Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo): Veteran forward capable of creating and finishing chances, contributing to Celta’s 35 assists and 296 key passes this season.
- Alexis Sánchez (Sevilla): Creative spark for Sevilla, expected to start up front and contribute to their 33 assists and 329 key passes, though the team has struggled for efficiency in front of goal.
- Neal Maupay (Sevilla): Brings energy and pressing, with Sevilla regaining possession in the attacking third 122 times, but he will need better service if Sevilla are to threaten.
