Celta have been releagted twice in the last 5 years after seasons where they've finished 4th and 6th. It's a curse in La Liga where a team will finish well and maybe get European football which they can't handle along with other competitions.
Zaragoza expected top 6 this season and I predicted them there, their players like Milito, Oliveira, Aimar etc. should have guaranteed it. Looking at their home and away form it's the away form that fails them with only 1 win and 11 losses. Their goals against is the 2nd worst in the league so I don't think they predicted how much of a loss Gaby Milito would be and their front 6 is often too attacking anyway.
They lost 3-0 at home to Betis last weekend so any team can beat them so it looks like they might go down. If they stay up tho they'll need to thank Oliveira and Diego Milito who have got 28 league goals between them.
Also I think D'allesandro left because he got into a fight with Aimar and Fernandez and also because when playing Left Wing he wouldn't track back which left that whole side exposed.
