Maintaining possession of the ball is one of the home team’s problems. All players are available for this game.
The away team is currently in the 11 th position of the league, having won 19 points, after 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Real Sociedad, by (0‑0).

At home, they won 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats, with a total of 28 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa del Rey, they got an away win against Utrillas by (0‑3). In the last 7 away league matches Valencia has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses, having won 6 points out of 21 possible.
In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in one.

In this game against Celta de Vigo, coach Pepe Bordalás should play in 4-4-2 privileging the maintenance of ball possession and paused attacks by the runners: Carlos Soler is largely responsible for causing panic in the opponent’s defensive line. Out of this game are Dimitri Foulquier and Mouctar Diakhaby, both suspended, as well as Gabriel Paulista and Thierry Correia, the latter with physical problems.
