Valencia vs Celta Vigo prediction 05.04.2026 | La Liga

Valencia have been part of the Spanish top flight for 39 consecutive years, and it would be a huge shock to see them in La Liga 2. Not so long ago, they were in danger, but after a few solid results, they are now seven points ahead of the relegation zone. Valencia have been excellent lately, winning three of their last four matches. In the previous game, they won 2-0 on the road against Sevilla. The guests ended with an xG of 1.82, while the hosts had only 0.39, so it is no wonder Valencia secured another valuable victory.

Valencia's head coach, Carlos Corberan, was very satisfied with a victory in the most recent outing. He said, "This was the performance we wanted to deliver. More than the result, when we don't perform at the level we want, we're disappointed. Today, we saw the personality, commitment, dedication, and determination we wanted to see, which have defined the team's second half of the season. Taking this step was necessary."

Valencia have big problems with injuries. They will be without Filip Ugrinic, Thierry Rendall, Dimitri Foulquier, Mouctar Diakhaby, Jose Copete, and Julen Agirrezabala. Also, Jose Gaya and Javi Guerra are questionable.

Celta Vigo have another excellent season. They are currently sixth and have a strong chance of qualifying for the Europa League again next season. However, Celta's form is little worry, as they have won only once in the previous five matches. In the last game, Celta lost 4-3 at home against Alaves. The hosts had a 3-0 lead in the first half, but the guests made a shocking turnaround and left Celta empty-handed. 

Celta undoubtedly improved significantly since the head coach Claudio Giraldez came in 2024. During the previous international break, the club from Vigo already made their most important signing of 2026, securing Giraldez through 2028.

Miguel Roman and Matias Vecino are injured and will not play on Sunday in Valencia.
