Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Following back-to-back defeats to Villarreal and Osasuna, Celta Vigo will look to return to winning ways when they face Real Valladolid on Matchday 5. Os Celeste were struggling at the back before the international break, but they are still seen as favourites to beat La Pucela in front of home fans. Forward Alfonso Gonzalez is sidelined through suspension, while both Mihailo Ristic and Carlos Dominguez remain in the recovery room.
Real Valladolid, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 7-0 loss to Barcelona and given their difficulties on the road, Celta will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in the Spanish top flight. Both Latasa and Chuki are pushing for a start as La Pucela boss Paulo Pezzolano is expected to make changes to the team that faced Barca in the last league match.
