Valencia take on the visitors Celta Vigo in the round of 16 match of Spanish Copa del Rey. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 3rd at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
Valencia have one of the best players in the league in the first team but they lack teams’ chemistry and fail to be competitive on the pitch. The Bats can’t count on their defensive line that allowed at least one goal in each LaLiga match of the season 2016-17. Leganes, Valencia’s opponents in the round of 32, also scored in each leg of the matchup. On the other hand, the team scores goals on regular basis, leaving the pitch without a scored goal only two times in defeats against Eibar, 0-1, and Atletico Madrid, 0-2, while in 15 out of 17 Valencia’s games this season both teams managed to score. We should also note that Valencia are last year semifinalist as only Barcelona managed to spot them on their way to the final.

Celta also started their path in the competition in round of 32, beating Murcia twice, both times 1-0. It was clear the team has potential to speed things up and score more but they’ve stick to power sufficient approach. Celta Vigo sit in the middle of the standings and show their best football in home matches. Away form of the team isn’t that good but Vigo side scored in 9 out of 12 away games played in all competition this season. Celta are another semifinalist of the previous Copa del Rey.
The opponents have already faced one another in the round 11 match of LaLiga when Celta took 2-1 victory over Valencia. We should also note that opponents managed to score at least once in four out of recent five head-to-heads (1-1, 1-1, 1-5, 0-2, 2-1), so we have all reasons to expect goals on both ends of the pitch today as well.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
