Atletico lost their last pre-season friendly against Feyenoord 2-1 but will not be buoyed by the same.
Linssen scored the opening goal before Correa equalized but Bannis’ strike in the 90th minute inflicted the defeat.
On the other hand, Celta Vigo will look to once again perform well and improve from last season’s 8th place finish.
They come into this one on the back of a 1-0 win over Wolves in their last pre-season match where Aspas’ first half penalty was enough for the win.
Both sides met last season in the La Liga where it finished 2-2.
Mina broke the deadlock before Suarez scored twice, but Ferreyra’s goal a minute from time ensured both sides shared the spoils.
