Recent Form of Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo comes into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 3-2 loss to Osasuna in their last league match. Despite this setback, they have shown decent form overall, winning two and suffering two defeats in their opening four La Liga matches this season. The home team has been particularly strong at home, remaining unbeaten in their last seven league matches at their stadium. During this period, they secured five wins and two draws, showcasing their strength on home turf.
Recent Form of Valladolid
On the other hand, Valladolid has struggled in their recent matches. They were defeated 7-0 by FC Barcelona in their last outing, which has raised concerns about their defensive capabilities. Valladolid has managed to win just once in their last four league matches this season. However, they have shown some resilience in away games, winning three of their last seven away matches in the league. This away form could be crucial as they face a challenging opponent in Celta Vigo.
