Celta Vigo vs Valencia Prediction & Betting Tips (23 August)

Celta Vigo has been flirting with relegation for two years now and wants to remedy it. So, there was only one day of play by each team and at the start of this J2, it is the same Celta which is at the top of the ranking ahead of Rayo Vallecano and especially FC Barcelona. This is information to be taken with a grain of salt since at the end of the season, barring a miraculous season, the Galicians should not even finish in the top 4 or even top 6. However, it is still ideal, especially when you are a candidate to keep starting with a success, in this case, at home, against Deportivo Alaves 2-1, thanks in particular to a golaso ​​of the win signed Iago Aspas, the hero of the people.

Valencia, 6 times champion of Spain in its history had not enjoyed itself during the last years but last year, thanks to a valiant defense, it had held the race to Europe, but in the order of things, it did not He was ultimately not allowed to participate, finishing in 9th place. The time has now come for confirmation for the Ché club which will once again try to play the role of spoilsport in this European race. During the first day, in his Mestalla, he lost against a much diminished FC Barcelona but carried by the aging but still flamboyant, Robert Lewandowski, author of a double defeat 1-2.

Before talking about the Celta transfer window, let's talk about the players who will probably be absent for this part. The important Luca de la Torre (1 goal, 4 assists last season in the league) is one of these players, as is the experienced goalkeeper Vicente Guaita (27 appearances in La Liga last year). Real captain and holder, Unai Nunez (ex-Bilbao) was not in the game against Deportivo Alaves and could miss out again. The first negative blow and probably the only one of the Galician transfer window was the loss of the Norwegian international Larsen (13 goals, 5 assists, Wolverhampton) who responded favorably to the sirens of the Wolves. It was by a long way, ahead of the stainless Aspas (9 goals, 10 assists last year), the strongest player in the squad. To stay at the start, note that Tapia (crucial, but too often injured last year) left the club freely while Dotor Carlos (Real Oviedo) and Miguel Rodriguez (Utrecht) left on loan like Carles Perez (Getafe), and Manu Sanchez at Alaves. As for the arrivals, Borja Iglesias (Bétis) and Ilaix Moriba (Leipzig) have placed their backpack in Galicia in the form of a loan. Loaned to FC Andorra (D3) last year and author of a good season with 4 goals and 3 assists, Lobete signed freely with Malaga during the transfer window.

 On the Valencia side, Mouctar Diakhaby (potential starter), replacement goalkeeper Jaume Domenech, captain Gaya and even Fran Perez and Sergi Canos are all on the sidelines (injured) and could remain so this evening. Returned from his loan from Sassuolo (now in SB), Samu Castillejo is currently unavailable (injured). Note that Yaremchuk (3 pawns last year, Olympiakos), Cömert (loaned to Valladolid), Peter Federico (15 caps in La Liga last year, end of loan) and Selim Amallah (return from loan to Valladolid) are not remained at the end of the last season. Among the arrivals, Rafa Mir (Sevilla FC) left his luggage via a loan, same case for Warren Madrigal (Saprissa), or even for Dani Gomez (Levante, loan). Rayo Vallecano starting goalkeeper Dimitrieski has signed but is not sure he will get playing time due to fierce competition. Against FC Barcelona, ​​it was the timeless Hugo Duro who opened the hostilities, in vain. Remember that the striker is expected to confirm his prowess from last year when he scored 13 goals.
