Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Celta Vigo will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Osasuna when they take on Levante at their Estadio de Balaidos on Matchday 34. Following three consecutive defeats, Os Celeste gave fans something to cheer about, with the team retaining their spot in top ten. The Galicians are determined to finish the season in the top half of the table, and we are positive that they will go for a win in Friday’s clash.
Hugo Mallo, who suffered an injury in the victory over Osasuna, has joined Alvarez, Blanco, and Mor in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Los Levantinos, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the Spanish top flight, and seeing that they have nothing to play for in the season finale, home win should be considered. The likes of Cardenas, Campana, Radoja, Miramon, and Vukcevic are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Nolito):
Widely known as Nolito, Manuel Agudo Durán is a Spanish forward born on 15 October 1986 in Sanlucar de Barrameda, who has had an unconventional path to stardom. The highly rated footballer did not go through Barcelona’s famous La Masia youth academy, but he rather joined the B side in 2008 and went on to show a great deal of potential.
Nolito also made a couple of performances for the senior side, but ultimately left for Benfica in an attempt to secure regular playing time. That proved an excellent decision as the winger produced some scintillating showings at Estadio da Luz, and following a loan spell with Granada, he returned to La Liga to sign for Celta Vigo. During his time at Balaidos, Nolito developed into one of league’s leading footballers, usually playing on the left wing and wreaking havoc after cutting inside.
The experienced footballer scored almost 40 league goals in first 100 appearances for the Sky Blues, while also breaking into the Spain national team, and despite making his La Furia Roja debut at the age of 28, he quickly became an important player for the side.
