RC Celta Vigo vs Valencia 9/19/20 - La Liga Picks & Predictions

Celta Vigo hosts Valencia on Saturday in a matchday two fixture for both in top-flight Spanish La Liga. Celta Vigo drew 0-0 on the road against Eibar and it's opening match of the 2020-21 campaign and dating back to last season, Celta Vigo has now battled to draws in five of the last eight fixtures. Celta has also gone eight consecutive matches in league play without a victory.

On its home pitch, Celta Vigo has lost just two of the last 12 matches. Over that span, Celta Vigo has three victories, seven draws and a pair of losses. The victories were over Sevilla, Leganes and Deportivo Alaves. Santi Mina has scored in two of the last four La Liga appearances for Celta Vigo and will play a prominent role up front on Saturday. 

Valencia opened its 2020-21 La Liga campaign with a victory and sits atop the top flight Spanish table along with Osasuna, Granada and Real Betis who were each winners during matchday one. Last season Valencia narrowly missed a finish in the top seven to qualify for Europe and part of that was due to losses near the end of the campaign on the road at Sevilla and Leganes.

Valencia finished in ninth place and were able to pick up just three wins on the road all season and over the final 11 fixtures failed to earn a victory on the road while earning points in just three matches with a draw and losing eight outright. In their season opener Valencia was victorious 4-2 over Levante, which gives them confidence leaving home and heading on the road.
