Valencia vs Celta Vigo

Valencia have failed to win any of their last three games against Celta Vigo in LaLiga (D2 L1), having won each of their previous five against the Galicians in the top-flight.

At home, Valencia have not lost any of their last eight games against Celta Vigo in LaLiga (W6 D2), keeping a clean sheet in each of the last five. They could equal their longest run without conceding a goal against them in the competition: six games between 1972 and 1979.

Celta Vigo have lost in seven of their last nine visits to teams from the Valencia region in LaLiga (W1 D1), having collected points in eight of their previous 11 away games against these sides (W5 D3 L3).

Valencia were beaten 1-7 at Barcelona in their last LaLiga match, conceding seven goals in a single game in the competition for the first time since 1955 (0-7 against Alavés).

Only in the 1982/83 season (14 points after 21 games, finished 15th) have Valencia had a worse points tally at this stage of a LaLiga season than in the current one (16). In a league of 20 teams and counting three points per win all-time, only nine of the 45 teams that had 16 points or fewer after 21 games remained in the top-flight (20%).
