All eyes will be on Mestalla when Valencia and Celta Vigo lock horns in their La Liga opener. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday's showdown, we predict a 2-2 draw. Valencia are eager to make a positive start after building confidence with a preseason win over Hercules. The hosts have made several additions during the summer, with Ryunosuke Sato, Justin de Haas, and Aliou Dieng expected to make their debuts, while Eray Comert and Thierry Correia have left the club. Valencia have been particularly entertaining in recent months, with both teams scoring in 80% of their last 10 matches and the side averaging 3.20 total goals per game.
Celta Vigo, meanwhile, head into the new campaign unbeaten in preseason after sharing the spoils with Napoli in their final warm-up game. Os Celeste have also strengthened their squad, bringing in Javi Galan, Aleix Febas, and Abdoulaye Faye, while Franco Cervi, Carlos Dominguez, and Oscar Mingueza have departed. Celta have failed to lose in seven of their last 10 matches and have scored in every one of those games. Their away fixtures have been particularly open, with BTTS landing in 83% of their last 10 on the road.
As BTTS landed in 80% of Valencia's and 70% of Celta's last 10 matches, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (This landed in 65% of the last 31 H2H meetings).
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 18:30.
