Celta Vigo is struggling for any consistency in La Liga play and American midfielder Luca De La Torre will aim to help turn things around this weekend against Sevilla.
De La Torre, 25, has remained a key contributor for Celta Vigo, logging two assists in 10 league appearances to date. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder featured in both head-to-head matchups last season and will be eager to add to his statistics in the first showdown of this campaign. De La Torre and his club teammates will be seeking a second La Liga triumph of the season, which would snap a seven-match winless streak in league play.
He should be well rested after being an unused substitute in Wednesday’s 4-0 Copa Del Rey victory over Turegano CF. Celta Vigo enters the weekend in the relegation zone, losing seven of its 11 league matches to date.
Celta Vigo has failed to any of its last seven league matches and will face 14th place Sevilla on Saturday in another crucial matchup.
