RC Celta de Vigo vs Levante UD

Celta Vigo host Levante in a fixture with enormous consequences at both ends of La Liga. The hosts sit sixth, still dreaming of Champions League football, while the visitors are mired in 19th, just two points from safety with time running out. Celta arrive on the back of two straight wins, including a fine 1-0 away victory at Atlético Madrid, with Borja Iglesias — who has scored in three consecutive matches — leading the line on 14 goals. The hosts lose Carl Starfelt and Matías Vecino to injury, though Javi Rueda returns from suspension to add solidity in midfield. Levante bounced back from a 5-1 thrashing to beat Osasuna 3-2 at home, but their away form is a genuine concern — just one win in their last ten on the road. Carlos Espí leads their attack with nine goals, while Iván Romero and Unai Elgezabal are sidelined through injury. Celta are unbeaten in five straight head-to-head meetings and should have too much for a Levante side that struggles badly away from home. Our prediction: 2-1.
