Prediction: 1-1
Valencia
Celta Vigo will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Villarreal and Getafe when they take on Valencia in the La Liga round 34. Os Celeste suffered a dip in form, with the team dropping to 13th place in the standings. Celta are now only five points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Sunday’s clash is of big importance for them. Both Josep Aidoo and Javi Galan are banned for the match, while all Diego Alves, Oscar Mingueza, and Agustin Marchesin are out of contention with injuries.
Los Che, on the other hand, are sitting just above bottom three. Considering that Valencia will go for a win as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Edinson Cavani and Thierry Correira miss out through suspension, while Marcos de Sousa is out of contention with a meniscus problem.

Highlighted Team (Valencia):

The capacity of the venue is 50,000. Seeing that bats are quite common in Valencia, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Bats.
Valencia made it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2000, 2001), but they were beaten in the title games by Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen respectively. The Spanish club, though, did well to win the UEFA Cup title in the 2003/2004 season, with the team beating Marseille in the final of the competition.
A number of top-class footballers were part of the club in the past, with the likes of Pablo Aimar, Ruben Baraja, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, John Carew and Gaizka Mendieta all playing for the Estadio de Mestalla outfit. Valencia main colors are white and black, whilst they often where orange jerseys and shorts when playing on the travels.
