Oyarzabal y Aspas face off at Anoeta with a last dance feel | OneFootball

Real Sociedad and Celta meet at Anoeta, with Oyarzabal y Aspas the headline act and possibly for the last time here. Oyarzabal, 29, has 10 against Celta, eight in LaLiga and two in the Copa del Rey, while Aspas, 39, has 11 versus La Real, 10 in the league and one in the cup.

As reported by AS, this matchday 6 LaLiga EA Sports fixture has been brought forward due to the Europa League openers. Real host Bournemouth on 17 September at 21:00, Celta visit Omonia Nicosia a day earlier at 18:45.

Víctor García Verdura will referee, with Valentín Pizarro Gómez on VAR. In Donostia they have met 54 times in LaLiga, with 31 home wins, 15 draws and eight away victories. Last season it finished 3-1 to Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side, Oyarzabal struck twice and Brais Méndez scored a penalty, Borja Iglesias replied.

Matarazzo calls up summer signings Mamadou Sarr and Héctor Fort, who could debut. Odriozola and Pablo Marín are out injured, Pacheco is omitted by choice. Guedes stays in the squad as his fitness improves.

Saturday’s 2-1 win over Espanyol ended a run of two defeats and brought La Real’s best football so far. Suspended after that sending off, Matarazzo will watch from the stands, John Maisano takes the touchline.

Celta arrive with doubts after two straight home defeats and a grim first half against Athletic on Sunday. Marcos Alonso returns to anchor the defence after serving a one match ban for his dismissal against the Navarre side.
