Pre-game Form
Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo has displayed fluctuating performances in their last five home matches. They secured a convincing 3-1 victory against Elche recently, which boosted their morale. However, the team struggled earlier in April, suffering heavy defeats to Freiburg (1-3) and Real Oviedo (0-3). Their offensive capabilities showed signs of hope in a narrow 3-4 loss against Deportivo Alaves, while they drew 1-1 with Olympique Lyonnais, indicating some resilience. Overall, Celta’s recent form at home has been inconsistent, combining spirited attacking displays with defensive vulnerabilities.
| Date | Opponent | Result | Competition |
|---|---|---|---|
| 03.05.2026 | Elche | 3 – 1 W | La Liga |
| 16.04.2026 | Freiburg | 1 – 3 L | Friendly |
| 12.04.2026 | Real Oviedo | 0 – 3 L | La Liga |
| 22.03.2026 | Deportivo Alaves | 3 – 4 L | La Liga |
Levante
Levante’s recent away form has been inconsistent and has included several challenging fixtures. Their latest outings feature a heavy 5-1 defeat to Villarreal on May 2, but before that, they held Espanyol to a goalless draw and registered a 2-0 home win versus Sevilla earlier in April. Away from home, Levante were beaten 2-0 by Real Sociedad and managed a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano, showing some defensive struggle but also the capacity to earn points. A tough 3-0 loss at Barcelona shows the difficulty of their away campaign, but Levante’s competitiveness remains evident.

| 02.05.2026 | Villarreal | 1 – 5 L | La Liga |
| 27.04.2026 | Espanyol | 0 – 0 D | La Liga |

Head to Head stats
Historically, encounters between Celta Vigo and Levante have seen a mix of results, with some decisive victories on each side. One of the biggest wins was Celta Vigo’s 3-0 triumph over Levante on October 24, 2014, showcasing their dominance on home turf. Conversely, Levante recorded a significant 4-1 victory against Celta Vigo on February 16, 2019, highlighting their ability to overturn expectations.
Looking at their recent meetings, the two teams have yet to face each other in the 2026 season since the data does not include any direct results from this year. Their forms suggest competitive clashes, but neither side has consistently dominated the other in recent years. The previous seasons have seen close contests but with moments of clear superiority by either club depending on conditions and venue.
Match Predictions
Given the current form and historical context, Celta Vigo holds a slight advantage, particularly playing at home where they have shown stronger performances recently compared to Levante’s challenges on the road. The home team to win prediction carries weight, although Levante’s capability to hold draws and occasionally surprise cannot be discounted, making a draw a plausible outcome as well. An away win for Levante is less likely but still possible if they capitalize on their attacking potential.
Celta Vigo should likely find their goal early and often, given their impressive home scoring record such as their 3-1 victory against Elche. Levante could score but could face difficulties breaking down Celta’s defense consistently; an open scoreline between both teams seems likely; although either could also achieve a clean sheet.
Final Thoughts
Celta Vigo and Levante will meet for their La Liga game on May 12, 2026, which promises to be an intriguing fixture due to both sides’ fluctuating forms this season. Celta Vigo should enjoy home advantage due to prior successes while Levante can keep up the pressure by challenging strong opposition and forcing games towards goalscorers at each end. Fans should anticipate an entertaining contest featuring plenty of goals with one side leading or possibly drawing the tie – this battle between rival sides should test both squads as the La Liga season draws its close-out stages!
