Celta Vigo vs Levante

, KO: 20:00 Apr 30, 2021, Abanca-Balaidos
Levante

It is a midtable clash at Abanca-Balaidos as Celta Vigo host Levante in a Friday night Spanish La Liga fixture. Celta are hoping to go on a run to keep alive their slim hopes of qualifying for Europe and should have the edge over Levante, who have struggled in recent weeks.

Captain Iago Aspas opened the scoring for Celta Vigo in their 2-1 victory over Osasuna last time out in La Liga. Jeison Murillo added the second after the break as they ended a run of three matches without a win and climbed to ninth on the table.

While Celta Vigo's form has been generally patchy this season, they often get the better of teams ranked below them. They have beaten Huesca 4-3 while a 2-1 victory at Deportivo Alaves is also among their recent results.

Sitting just eight points behind Villarreal in the final Europa League spot, Los Celestes will be hoping to put together a run in the final five games to give themselves a chance qualifying for Europe. They can start with an out of sorts Levante but one concern for Edouardo Coudet’s team is a leaky defence that has conceded eight goals in their last three home matches.

Levante were disappointing in their previous La Liga fixture as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to relegation threatened Elche. It was a poor performance from the visitors, who failed to carve out too many decent openings and finished with just one attempt on target.

It has been a steady decline for Granotes in recent weeks as they have now dropped to 12th on the table. They travel to Abanca-Balaidos off the back of five defeats in their last six La Liga matches.

Things have been just as bad on the road for Paco Lopez’s men, who have lost three of their last four away matches.
