Sat Mar 15 12:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Celta Vigo Favored to Extend Unbeaten Run Against Struggling Valladolid

**Valladolid, Spain** – Celta Vigo will look to continue their impressive La Liga form this Sunday when they face bottom-of-the-table Real Valladolid. Celta, currently ninth, are on a five-match unbeaten streak and sit just five points away from a European spot. In contrast, Valladolid are embroiled in a relegation battle, 11 points adrift of safety and having lost seven of their last eight league games.

Valladolid’s struggles are evident in their league-worst offensive and defensive records: 18 goals scored and a staggering 62 conceded. While they secured promotion last season, their return to La Liga has been disastrous. Their recent 2-1 defeat to Valencia only exacerbated their precarious position.

Celta, boasting a strong home record, have won three and drawn two of their last five league matches, including a recent victory over Leganes. Their attacking prowess (40 goals scored) is a key factor in their current position. However, their away form is a concern, with only one win in 13 away games this season.

Despite Valladolid welcoming back midfielder Mario Martin, injuries to key players like Joseph Aidoo (on loan from Celta), David Torres, and Andre Ferreira will further hinder their efforts. Juanmi Latasa’s suspension adds to their woes. Celta will be without Hugo Alvarez and Williot Swedberg due to injury.

Both teams have announced their likely starting lineups, with Celta expected to field a similar team to their last match. While Celta’s away form is inconsistent, analysts predict a Celta victory, potentially pushing Valladolid closer to relegation.
