Celta Vigo vs Levante prediction 12.05.2026 | La Liga

Celta Vigo have produced an inconsistent but still respectable league campaign under Claudio Giráldez. Heading into Round 36, they occupy sixth place in the table and remain firmly in contention for European football next season.

Their recent form has improved after a difficult April. Celta have won two of their last three league matches, including victories over Elche and Atlético Madrid. However, defensive inconsistency continues to be a concern, especially at Balaídos, where they have struggled for clean sheets in recent weeks.

In attack, veteran forward Iago Aspas remains the creative heartbeat of the side. He has created more big chances than any other Celta player this season, while striker Borja Iglesias leads the team’s scoring charts with 14 league goals.

Celta’s injury situation appears relatively manageable compared to earlier in the campaign. Previous reports indicated absences for Williot Swedberg and Javi Rueda earlier in the season, though the squad is now close to full strength entering this crucial home fixture.

Levante have endured a difficult return to La Liga after promotion, spending much of the season inside the relegation zone. Despite their league position, recent performances suggest they are still capable of surviving.

The visitors have collected three wins in their last five La Liga fixtures, including important victories against Sevilla, Getafe, and Osasuna last weekend. Their improvement in attacking efficiency has been noticeable, scoring seven goals across their previous five outings. However, the majority of this improvement has only been visible in Levante’s home matches, whereas their away form has remained consistently poor.

Defensively, however, Levante remain vulnerable away from home. They have conceded 57 league goals this season and suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Villarreal in their most recent away fixture. Alejandro Primo, Carlos Alvarez and Ivan Romero are all sidelined with injuries and may further destabilise Levante’s already leaky defensive structure.
