Levante Faces Celta de Vigo in Urgent LaLiga Clash

VALENCIA, Spain — Levante UD will host Celta de Vigo today at 2:00 p.m. CET in a critical LaLiga matchup. Both teams are in pressing need of points as they aim to escape the lower ranks of the league table.

This season has been tough for Levante, who have yet to secure a home win in four attempts, suffering three losses and one draw. The team is coming off a recent 1-1 draw against Mallorca but has struggled significantly at their home ground, the Ciutat de València.

Meanwhile, Celta de Vigo is entering the match with renewed confidence following their first league victory against Osasuna, where they clinched a thrilling 3-2 win. They lie just above Levante in the standings, with 10 points after 10 matches, compared to Levante’s 9 points.

Levante’s coach, Julián Calero, has highlighted the importance of improving their defensive performance. They have conceded 18 goals this season, the third highest in the league, which includes 12 goals at home.

In contrast, Celta’s coach, Claudio Giráldez, has made four changes to his lineup, welcoming back key players from injury, including Javi Rodríguez and Carl Starfelt.

The last encounters between the teams have favored Celta, who have gone unbeaten in their last four clashes with Levante. A win for Celta today could mark their first back-to-back victories this season.

<p"As we prepare for this match, we want to give our fans a victory," Calero said. The pressure to secure a positive result grows as the season unfolds, with Celta looking to build on their recent form.
