Celta Vigo hosts Valencia in round 16 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, December 5th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo)
A week ago, Celta Vigo earned three points in the away match against Alaves (1-2). A streak of four matches without victories was interrupted. In addition, the Sky Blues managed to extend the unbeaten run to four rounds (three draws and one win). However, the situation in the standings still leaves much to be desired. After 15 matches, the Celts have only 16 points, and this is enough to be in 13th place in the standings. The gap from the relegation zone is only four points. Eduardo Coudet's men are among the three worst LaLiga teams in terms of the number of points that were earned at home: five points in eight games (one win, two draws, and five losses with a goal difference of 7-12). In the current season, the Galicians have problems with production. In 15 matches, they scored only 16 goals.

Like Celta, Valencia did not lose in the last four rounds. It is noteworthy that even the results were identical (three draws and one victory). At the moment, the Levantines have 19 points and are in the 11th place in the standings. The team's results on foreign pitches are not impressive. The Bats earned only six points in seven matches (one win, three draws, and three losses with a goal difference of 8-12). It is noteworthy that Pepe Bordalas's men managed to score more than one goal in only one away game. I will add that five of those matches ended with an exchange of goals scored. For various reasons, as many as three key players will miss the upcoming match: Diakhaby, Gabriel Paulista, and Foulquier.
In the previous two seasons, Celta and Valencia exchanged home victories. In the last LaLiga draw, Celta won 2-1 at Estadio de Balaidos. If the tendency of home victories continues, then Celta will score three points in the upcoming game, and the Levantines will celebrate victory in the second round. But I will refrain from betting on the outcome. I believe that these teams are too unpredictable to be confident in either of them. Three of the last four head-to-head confrontations ended with "Both teams to score — no". But before that, the bet on an exchange of goals scored brought profit many times. Celta scores an average of one goal at home. The same goes for Valencia. I think the clubs will manage to upset each other’s goalkeepers.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
