Valencia welcome Celta Vigo to Estadio de Mestalla on 5 April 2026 in a La Liga clash that could reshape the mid-table picture. Valencia sit 13th with 35 points after 29 matches, while Celta are 7th on 41 points, eyeing European contention.
At home, Valencia have been solid: 6 wins, 5 draws and just 3 defeats in 14 league outings, scoring 19 and conceding 15. Celta’s away form is impressive, with only 2 losses in 14 trips (6 wins, 6 draws), backed by 18 goals scored and 14 conceded. Overall this season, Celta (41 goals in 29 games) have been more potent than Valencia (32 in 29), and also slightly tighter at the back (35 conceded vs Valencia’s 42).
Recent head-to-heads tilt Celta’s way. In the last five official meetings, they have three wins, Valencia one, and one draw, including a 4-1 home victory in January and a 3-1 win in Vigo earlier in the 2024–25 campaign. However, Valencia did edge a 2-1 home league win in February 2025.
Team News
Team news is significant on both sides. Valencia are without J. Agirrezabala, J. Copete, M. Diakhaby and D. Foulquier, while Celta miss key figures Iago Aspas, M. Roman, C. Starfelt and M. Vecino.
Key attackers Borja Iglesias (11 league goals) and Hugo Duro (9) provide the main threat, and with both teams averaging over a goal per game, this fixture shapes up as a tight, attacking contest with Celta’s consistency giving them a slight edge.
