This result continues a challenging run for the Sky Blues, who have managed just one win in their last six LaLiga outings, suffering five losses in the process.

Levante, on the other hand, will be buoyed by their recent 3-2 home victory over Osasuna. This win marks a more positive spell for the Frogs, who have recorded three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six league games. Despite their precarious league position, Levante's recent form shows signs of improvement, placing them 7th in the overall form table for the last six matches.

- Celta Vigo are undefeated in their last 5 matches against Levante in all competitions.
Prediction: Celta Vigo 1-0 Levante
This encounter pits Celta Vigo, battling for European qualification, against a Levante side fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation. Celta Vigo currently sit 6th in the league table, while Levante are languishing in 19th. While the hosts have shown a strong ability to finish scoring chances and create opportunities through balls, their recent form has been inconsistent. They also have a notable weakness in protecting a lead and struggling with aerial duels.
Levante, despite their league position, have shown resilience lately with three wins in their last six. However, their defensive frailties are evident, particularly against through ball attacks, counter-attacks, and attacks down the wings. They also struggle with keeping possession.
Given Celta Vigo's strength in creating chances via through balls and Levante's specific weakness in defending against them, the hosts are well-positioned to capitalise. The match forecast specifically highlights that Celta Vigo will score as a result of a through ball. While Levante's recent upturn in form might make this a tighter affair, Celta Vigo's home advantage and their historical dominance over Levante suggest they will find a way to secure a vital win.

Considering Celta Vigo's superior league position, their strong head-to-head record against Levante (undefeated in the last five meetings), and the specific statistical matchup favouring their attacking style against Levante's defensive weaknesses, a straightforward home win for Celta Vigo appears to be the most sensible betting angle. The forecast sentence explicitly states Celta Vigo will score from a through ball, a testament to their offensive strengths against Levante's vulnerabilities.
