Valencia

DLLWDL

Valencia will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-0 La Liga defeat last time out to Real Madrid.

In that match, Valencia had 40% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Real Madrid CF had 16 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Karim Benzema (12') and Toni Kroos (42') scored for Real Madrid.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Valencia haven’t conceded. The facts show that Los Che have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 10 goals on the way.

Going into this one, Valencia are undefeated in their last 3 home league matches.

Celta Vigo

LLDDDW

Celta Vigo come into this match following a 3-1 La Liga win with the eclipse of Elche CF in their most recent fixture.

In that match, Celta Vigo had 50% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For Celta Vigo, the goalscorers were Santi Mina (45', 68') and Brais Méndez (45'). On the other side, Elche CF had 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Emiliano Rigoni (50') scored for Elche CF.

The stats tell the story, and Celta Vigo have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. Defensively, Os Celestes have clearly had some problems. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.

Analysis of their past results shows that Celta Vigo:

• are winless against Valencia when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 away league matches.
• are without a win away from home in their last 5 matches in the league.
