While the hosts are fighting for a spot in European competitions next season, the visitors are aiming to maintain their status in the top tier of Spanish football. Bookmakers give a threefold advantage to the team from Vigo.
Head-to-Head
📊 Let's take a look at the outcomes from the last ten head-to-head clashes: five wins for the Celts, two draws, and three victories for the Frogs. We'll also consider the average scoring rate for each side over this period: Celta averages 1.8 goals, while Levante averages 1.6.

Head-to-head statistics Celta - Levante
Celta de Vigo Team Overview
🔴 Claudio Giráldez's team are on the right track to secure a spot in European competitions. Moreover, the Celts still have a decent shot at clinching a place in the Champions League - they are just four points behind the top five. Interestingly, Celta cannot boast high efficiency in their home fixtures, having collected 20 points from 17 matches (ranking 19th in the league). Let's take a look at their average season performance: 1.4 goals scored per game while conceding 1.26.
🔵 In the last round of the national championship, Celta secured a hard-fought victory over Atletico (1-0). It's intriguing that the Celts capitalized on virtually their only chance. A glance at the expected goals ratio reveals Atletico's dominance: 2.04 to 0.13 in favor of the Madrid side. However, for Claudio Giráldez, the final result at this stage of the season is far more important than the aesthetics of football. Borja Iglesias stands out as Celta's main attacking force this season, with 14 goals in 32 games.
Match Results: Celta de Vigo
Levante UD Team Overview
🔵 The end of the season is shaping up favorably for the "Frogs"-they have suffered only one defeat in their last five matches. If this trend continues, the Valencian team could retain their spot in the elite of Spanish football. Currently, Levante trail the crucial 17th position by just two points. Let's take a look at their average performance metrics-1.17 goals scored per game against 1.63 goals conceded. Carlos Espi stands out as Levante's top scorer this season, with 9 goals in 22 matches.
🔴 Last weekend, Levante delivered a textbook performance against Osasuna (3-2). Despite lacking defensive solidity, the "Frogs" showcased resilience and the ability to dominate possession. Consider the expected goals ratio: 2.99 to 0.63 in favor of the Valencians. This hard-fought victory not only bolstered their position in the standings but also improved the players' mental state.

Latest news
Celta de Vigo
❌ Among Celta's unavailable players, Carl Starfelt stands out-the Swedish defender is dealing with a herniated disc, and his chances of playing this season are slim. For Miguel Román, the current La Liga campaign is also over, as the Spaniard is recovering from surgery. However, Matías Vecino might make his return as soon as Tuesday-the Uruguayan midfielder has resumed field training and is showing positive progress in his recovery.
Levante UD
❌ Levante's coaching staff will be unable to rely on several key players for their upcoming match. Notably, Ivan Romero, who sustained a muscle injury during the clash with Villarreal (1-5), casts doubt on his prospects for the current season. In the same game, Carlos Alvarez suffered an unfortunate ankle injury, forcing him to leave the field in the 30th minute. The versatile midfielder will now miss the remainder of the season. Finally, Unai Elgezabal has been sidelined since February with a knee injury, and his inability to regain optimal physical condition continues to delay his return to action.
⚽ Goal Prediction
It's important to note that neither team boasts a reliable defensive setup. Frequent lapses during transitions benefit their opponents. Remarkably, in 7 of the last 9 matches involving the "Celts," there have been at least three goals scored. Considering all of this, our betting suggestion is - over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.78*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Creating chances from wing play isn't the strongest suit for Celta or Levante. A quick look at the average number of corners won by each side this season: the "Celts" with 3.9 and the "Frogs" with 4.2. In their last five head-to-head encounters, there have been no more than ten corner kicks. Therefore, the most reasonable bet appears to be - under 9.5 corners at odds of 1.81*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editorial Prediction
Levante's recent comeback victory over Osasuna was an emotional high point, suggesting that Luís Castro's squad truly believes that avoiding relegation from La Liga is no longer an impossible task. It's also crucial to consider Celta's lackluster home form-Balaídos is far from being a fortress for the local side. Our editorial team anticipates an action-packed encounter and predicts a final score of 1-2, favoring Levante with a handicap of (+1).
