Valencia has been enjoying yet another fruitful season. Despite occupying a mid-table position for most of the season, a recent successful streak has seen them narrow the points difference with the European cup teams to a mere few. Currently, Ruben Baraja’s team is in excellent form, having gone five games across all competitions without a loss. They secured a 4-1 victory in their previous match against Cadiz on the latter’s home ground. Although the statistics didn’t indicate a significant disparity between the teams, Valencia capitalized on their goal-scoring opportunities more effectively and thus, secured another win.

This season, Celta Vigo is grappling with significant issues. They are teetering on the brink of relegation, being just two points clear of the danger zone. However, a majority of their losses were suffered early in the season, indicating a slow but steady recovery and climb from the bottom of the table. Rafa Benitez’s team has only seen one defeat in their last nine matches. In their most recent match, they secured a 1-1 draw against Mallorca on the latter’s home ground. Despite Mallorca performing significantly better, Celta’s solid defense helped them avoid a loss. After such a positive streak, Celta will enter the upcoming Copa del Rey tie in Valencia with high spirits and confidence.
