Celta Vigo vs Levante pits a Celta side that draws too often against a Levante team stuck in the bottom three, with LaLiga points on the line at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos on Sunday.
Claudio Giráldez's Celta have drawn six of their league games so far. Turning that habit into wins at home is the obvious brief against a struggling visitor.
Luís Castro's Levante have managed just two league wins, and nothing in their recent outings suggests a turnaround in Vigo is coming.
Celta hold the edge in this fixture, having lost only one of their last six meetings with Levante, and the visitors' current slide gives them every reason to extend that record.
Celta Vigo vs Levante Form
Celta have banked 12 points in the league, and the draws have kept them parked in mid-table. They were beaten 3-0 at Rayo Vallecano last time out, which ended a decent unbeaten league run. Ferran Jutglà remains the focal point up top, with Hugo González and Iago Aspas providing the craft behind him.
Levante sit 18th, and the slide is real. They have not won any of their last five league matches, the latest a home defeat by Atletico Madrid. Iván Romero is the danger man, working just behind the striker, while Roger Brugué carries the threat from the right.

Jones El Abdellaoui is still recovering from knee arthroscopy, Bernard Somuah is out with an ankle injury and Alexis Olmedo is unavailable with a thigh problem. Miguel Román is a doubt as he nears a return from knee arthroscopy.

Levante
Enzo Bardeli and Manu Sánchez are both doubts with hamstring injuries. Better news comes at the back, where Adrián de la Fuente has shaken off his knock and is fit to feature. Petar Ratkov is expected to lead the line, with Iván Romero just behind him.

Iván Romero Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target. Romero has worked the goalkeeper in 8 of his previous 9 LaLiga outings, and playing just behind Petar Ratkov keeps him close to goal.
Adrián de la Fuente To Be Shown A Card. The centre-back has gone into the book twice across his latest 3 LaLiga games, and he is fit again after shaking off a knock.
Ferran Jutglà Over 1.5 Player Shots. Across his most recent 6 LaLiga matches, Jutglà has had two or more attempts five times, and with Borja Iglesias out he is Celta's main striker.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Both sides have scored in 6 of Levante's last 7 matches, and this leg backs the visitors' knack of coming back from losing positions.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 12/1 and is as short as 67/10 elsewhere.

Celta Vigo vs Levante Talking Points
There is a homecoming subplot. Hugo Sotelo came through Celta's A Madroa academy and is on a season-long loan at Levante, and he returns to Balaídos in opposition colours for the first time. "It's going to be my first time playing at Balaídos in another shirt; it's a special week for me," he said. Luís Castro wants a scrap, insisting "this club has an identity of suffering and fighting, but moving forward against whatever comes." Levante attack through the middle and take plenty of shots, but they struggle to keep the ball, and that should hand Celta control. The worry for the hosts is their finishing, which is why we expect a stubborn home win rather than a rout.
