There will be a crucial game at the bottom of the La Liga standings this weekend, as Valencia look for a massive victory in their battle to avoid relegation. Celta Vigo come into this home fixture after losing each of their previous two in La Liga.
La Liga Preview
Valencia have five games to secure their top-flight status in Spain, meaning that the final five matches could be regarded as the biggest in the club’s history. At present, they sit 17th in the standings, but they are outside the relegation places on goal difference. They come into this fixture having won twice in their previous five matches, but they have gone two without a win in recent weeks.
Over their previous four matches, Valencia has taken seven points. However, that is as many points as they had taken from their previous 12 league matches. Valencia would have taken confidence from their previous fixture, as they battled well to take a point from their match against Villarreal. Their equalising goal in that game was scored with 20 minutes remaining by Samuel Lino.
Celta Vigo likely require just one more win in La Liga to maintain their top-flight status in Spain. At present, they sit 13th in the overall standings, and they have a five-point advantage over the bottom three places. However, their recent form would be a minor concern for the home side.
They come into this huge fixture having lost four of their previous five matches in the league. That is as many defeats as they had suffered in their first 16 matches under Carlos Carvalhal. They will need more from their attacking players this weekend, as they have failed to score in their previous two against Valencia.
Celta Vigo vs Valencia Head to Head
Celta Vigo has a fine recent home record against Valencia, as they have won three of their last six. Over that same period, they have lost just twice against their rivals this weekend. But, Valencia has claimed victories in each of their previous four against Celta.
Celta Vigo vs Valencia Prediction
This is a huge game for both teams in their battles for avoid relegation this season. However, Valencia have improved over their recent outings, and we could see further improvement coming this weekend. We will be siding with the visitors landing victory on Sunday.
