Celta Vigo Form & Balance Check
RC Celta had to play away against relegated Granada last matchday. Despite their clear superiority, they struggled to take advantage of their many chances in the first half. One reason for this was that Granada’s goalkeeper had a very good day. After the break, the speech in the dressing room seemed to have had an effect and within two minutes the visitors were 2-0 up. The goal they conceded to make it 2-1 had no consequences and Celta Vigo were able to celebrate their tenth win of the season.
The Celtistas are having a rather mixed season this year, but have been able to score solid points with good results in recent weeks. They have won three and lost just two of their last five games, putting them in eighth place in the form table. This haul of twelve points from five games has enabled them to escape the dangerous zone in recent weeks and climb from 17th to 14th place. This means that they have been certain of staying in the league for some time now
Defensive weakness
A particular problem, especially at the beginning and middle of the season, has been Celta Vigo’s defensive work. They have conceded 55 goals in their 37 games so far this season, making them the fourth-worst defensive team in La Liga. Only the two relegated teams Granada and Almeria, as well as eighth-placed Villareal, are even worse defensively. Nevertheless, Claudio Giraldez’s team have managed to recover in recent weeks and have a goal difference of 7:5 in their last four matches
Celta Vigo facts & analysis
- Fourth worst defense in the league
- Two wins in a row
- 14th in the table
Valencia Form & Balance Sheet Check
Valencia faced the toughest of opponents last weekend. In their final home game of the season, they welcomed third-placed Girona and were overstretched from the start and had little to counter Girona’s fast play. The third-placed team made the most of their chances and took a 1-0 lead after just over half an hour. Valencia remained inconspicuous after the break and conceded two more goals. After that, they looked a little more alert and scored a penalty to make it 3-1, but the final offensive came too late.
Valencia’s goal this season was clear. They were determined to get back into European football. However, especially in this important and final phase of the season, they have completely blown it with their own results. They drew one of their last five games and conceded four defeats. They have now gone six games without a win and are deservedly bottom of the form table. Their recent results have also left them bottom of the overall table. While they were in seventh place seven matchdays ago, they now find themselves in ninth place and eight points adrift of Europe
Weak away from home
Valencia’s performance at away stadiums is particularly sobering. They have won just five of their 18 away games, drawn three and been beaten ten times. A goal difference of 18:29 confirms this dismal performance by the European hopefuls. They are in eleventh place in the away table with the resulting 18 points and must now try to get this away weakness under control at the end of the season
Valencia facts & analysis
- Without a win in six games
- One point from the last five games
- Ninth place in the table
Claudio Giraldez will probably send his team out on the pitch in a 3-5-2 formation again. This formation worked well last weekend. We don’t have to prepare for any changes in terms of personnel either.
Ruben Baraja and Valencia will start in the usual 4-4-2. However, he will have to do without left-back Gaya (muscle injury), but he was only planned as a back-up for Gasiorowski anyway. In offense, Federico and Yaremchuk are options to set new accents
Celta Vigo – Valencia head-to-head & stats
In total, this match has been played 115 times in the past. The numbers speak clearly in favor of Valencia. FC have won 55 of these matches, while Celta Vigo have only won 30 times. The two teams have also drawn just as often. The first leg in Valencia ended in a goalless draw, which the visitors were certainly more comfortable with
