Match Time & Date:

16:15
Prediction: 2-0
Celta Vigo
Following a heavy 7-1 loss to Barcelona, Valencia will be aiming to return to winning ways in La Liga when they take on Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon. Los Che are desperate to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Celeste. The fact that they defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 in their last game at “Mestalla” is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Celta Vigo. The good news for the hosts is that defender Cristhian Mosquera is back from suspension.
The Galicians, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches and with Valencia being in need for points, home win should be considered. All Hugo Alvarez, Marcos Alonso, and Oscar Mingueza are banned for the match, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the relegation-threatened hosts.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):
After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
Highlighted Team (Valencia):
Founded on March 18, 1919, Valencia FC are a Spanish football club that compete in La Liga. Los Che play their home games at Estadio de Mestalla, the stadium which was opened back in May, 1923. 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.
