Valencia seeks revenge against Celta in crucial La Liga showdown

Match preview

On Sunday, April 5 2026, Valencia will host Celta de Vigo in the 30th round of La Liga. After a 4‑1 loss to Celta in the first round, the hosts are determined to turn the tables. Valencia, currently 13th with 35 points, have rallied at home with three consecutive victories and only three defeats in their last 14 matches.

Form and motivation

Valencia’s recent home form is solid: they beat Mallorca 2‑0 and secured an away win at Girona 2‑1. Yet they have drawn four of their last ten home games 1‑1, indicating a need for sharper offense. Celta, fighting for a European‑competition spot, arrived in Valencia after a 1‑2 loss to Real Madrid and a 3‑4 defeat by Alavés, but a 1‑1 draw with Betis on the road shows resilience.

What’s at stake

A win for Valencia could lift them out of the lower mid‑table and restore confidence after the early‑season reverse. For Celta, three points keep their European ambitions alive as they chase a top‑six finish. The match kicks off at 17:15 Moscow time and will be streamed live online.
