Celta Vigo are in excellent conditions at the moment as the team won three matches in a row: 1-0 over Murcia and 4-1 over Valencia in the Copa del Rey and 3-1 over Malaga. That excellent 4-1 away victory in the first leg almost guaranteed the hosting side the place in the quarterfinals as it’s going to be difficult to lose such advantage against today’s Valencia, who suffering sever crisis. The Vigo side shows nice results at own turf, taking nine wins, two draws and three defeats in their 14 home matches of the season.

Valencia perform on the level below any critics. The team lost home leg to Celta, 1-4 and followed it with 3-3 draw against league lowly Osasuna, allowing equalizer on 92nd minute and failing to score from the spot on 86th minute. The club have problems in managerial staff and players don’t battle for the club on the pitch. The team shows awful results in all competitions and managed to gain only three wins in 10 away matches with at least on goal allowed in all of these matches.
Celta won both of their two head-to-heads in 2016, 2-1 and 4-1. We should expect third match of the season between the team to be a high-scoring game as well with at least three goals combined by the teams.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
