Celta vs Levante: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Vigo club surprised last season by climbing to seventh place. This result allowed the Spaniards to return to the Europa League, where they performed respectably, reaching the quarterfinals. At the same time, they managed to remain at a high level domestically, despite a weak start. Only in the spring did fatigue start to show and their positions slip. Nevertheless, they managed to beat Elche and even Atletico.
The team from the suburbs of Valencia only managed to break out of the Segunda after last season. They have struggled since then to avoid relegation again. The hope to stay up only appeared in the spring, when under the guidance of Luis Castro, they were able to secure several wins and finally close the gap to their rivals. Yes, after a goalless draw with Espanyol they lost to Villarreal, but then they beat Osasuna!
Giraldez's men approach the end of the campaign with a negative balance: 1.4 goals scored per game, 1.26 conceded. The newcomer still has a poor ratio: 1.17 scored and 1.63 conceded per match.
