Valencia to claim first La Liga win of the season at Celta
2112

Two teams looking for their first La Liga wins of the season meet at the Abanca-Balaidos on Saturday night, as Celta Vigo host Valencia.

Celta Vigo opened the campaign with a 3-1 home defeat against Real Madrid. The loss means that the home side has failed to win in their three league games dating back to last season. In fact, they have won just once in their last six matches in La Liga.

Celta are usually involved in high-scoring games, illustrated by the fact that seven of their last 11 matches in La Liga have produced over 2.5 goals.

The home side has a mixed recent home record in La Liga. However, they have won four of their last six home games at the Abanca-Balaidos. The aforementioned defeat by Real Madrid ended a five-game unbeaten run for Celta on home soil in La Liga.

The match also ended a good run of form in front of home fans, as Celta had scored at least two goals in their previous five home matches prior to the defeat by Los Blancos.

Valencia kicked off season 2019/20 in La Liga with a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Real Sociedad. The draw does means that Los Ches are four-games unbeaten in La Liga, having recorded three wins in the process.

The visitors have also been highly prolific in front of goal in their recent matches in the Spanish top-flight, scoring at least two goals in six of their last eight outings.

Marcelino’s team have been inconsistent on home soil of late in La Liga. However, Los Ches have won three of their last four league games on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Valencia will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to kick-start their challenge for a top-four spot this season.
