Valencia vs Celta Vigo Prediction (22.08.2026)

Valencia gathered ten points in the last four rounds of the previous season and finished in ninth place, after previously being in and around the relegation zone. So ninth place is not a bad achievement at all and is progress compared to the previous season. Valencia started with a victory in the last two seasons as well, and now begins its final season at their "Mestalla" before moving to a new stadium next year.

Celta had a better last season, finishing sixth, qualifying directly for the group stage of the Europa League again, where they reached the quarter-finals in the last edition of the tournament. In La Liga, Celta was the third strongest away team last season, only behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in this regard. However, Celta has only won their first match of the new campaign once in the last ten seasons.

In this match, I lean towards a draw, but there could also be goals, as the last six matches between the two teams were quite high-scoring.
