Valencia welcome Celta Vigo to the Mestalla in the Spanish La Liga on Sunday, with Los Che aiming to close the gap on the visitors.

Going by Celta's recent slump, the hosts could still make a late push for one of the European spots.

Valencia News

Valencia would be hoping to carry on from where they left off, winning three of their last four matches before the international break. Hugo Duro was on the scoresheet as they earned a 2-0 win at Sevilla in their last match, making it two goals in his last three outings.

Carlos Corberan's men sit 12th in the table, with just five points separating them from the visitors. They have recorded five wins in their last 10 matches across all competitions, scoring in eight of those encounters and keeping three clean sheets.

Los Che are on a two-game winning streak at home, brimming with confidence ahead of this clash. They have scored the opening goal in four of their last six matches, registering their intentions early. Goals are a constant for Valencia, who have seen over 2.5 goals in five of their last 10 fixtures.

Celta Vigo News

Since going on a four-game winning streak from late February to mid-March, Celta Vigo have suffered a downturn in form. They have managed just one win in their last five matches, including a 4-3 home loss to Relegation-threatened Alaves in their most recent fixture.

The Sky Blues are sixth in the table, occupying the final European spot in La Liga. A slip up in this match could turn out to be detrimental to their objectives this season. Amid their poor form, they found the net in their last 11 games. Meanwhile, three clean sheets in that period highlights their lack of defensive solidity.

Claudio Giraldez's side, however, are buoyed by their away form, as they are unbeaten in their last seven games in enemy territory. But four of those games ended in a draw, and they managed only one win in their last five La Liga trips. Seven of Celta's last 10 league games have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Valencia have the upper hand in the recent meetings between these two teams, with five wins in their previous 10 games. However, Celta boast three victories in that period, including claiming a 4-1 home win in the reverse encounter in January.

Verdict

Valencia v Celta Vigo

Valencia have enjoyed fast starts, scoring first in four of their last six. This trend could see them take a goal lead at the Mestalla, with Valencia 1UP likely.

The last five meetings between these sides have had goals at both ends. This makes BTTS a solid pick. At least three goals have been scored in eight of their last 10 clashes, pointing towards over 2.5 goals in this one.
