Valencia hosts Celta in round 24 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, February 20th at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia)
Valencia is still in the danger zone. The Bats played in the capital a week ago. And despite their reputation as an unpleasant opponent for Real Madrid, they did not gold out even a quarter of an hour - Benzema opened the scoring after Kroos's pass already in the 12th minute. And before the break, Tony himself doubled it. Nonetheless, the recent matches were quite successful for Xavi Gracia and his team. At home, the Bats beat one of the outsiders, Elche, thanks to a goal scored by Wass. And then, despite an own goal by Guillamon, they managed to get a draw with Athletic in Bilbao. Such results help Valencia to keep a short distance from the relegation zone for now, but it is certainly too early to relax.

Celta is also rather unstable in the current season. One unsuccessful streak that was at the start of the current LaLiga cost Oscar Garcia the job. Eduardo Coudet, who replaced him, shook the club and began to churn out victories at such a pace that the fans began to remember their participation in European Cups and discuss the chances of a new start in the Europa League. But after the New Year, the “honeymoon” for the Argentine was over. His players lost three times in a row in LaLiga and were eliminated from the cup, losing to the modest Ibiza. But this time, the black streak was not that long. If the draw with Eibar can still be called a misfire, then Celta tied with Granada, a participant in European competition (0:0), and even stopped the victorious procession of Atlético. In the 89th minute, the newcomer Facundo Ferreira scored the second goal against the LaLiga leader. And last Friday, Celta managed to win for the first time since December 30th. The Sky Blues defeated Elche with a 3:1 score.
The teams have fairly equal statistics (for example, they won two times each in 2019-2020). But Celta has not won at Mestalla since 2016. Valencia is closer to the relegation zone, so it is in greater need of points. Therefore, we decided to bet on the hosts’ victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win with 0.0 handicap
