Levante vs Celta Vigo

A brisk Sunday morning in Valencia will see Levante host Celta Vigo at the Estadi Ciutat de València on November 2, 2025, with kickoff set for 14:00 local time. The stadium is expected to have a lively atmosphere as Levante search for their first home victory of the season, while Celta aim to continue their solid run on the road. The clash is crucial for both sides, with Levante needing points to climb out of the lower reaches of La Liga and Celta looking to consolidate their position in mid-table.

Levante enter the game with a few key absences. Pablo Martínez remains sidelined with a ligament ankle injury, and Iván Romero is doubtful due to a lingering thigh issue. The coach is expected to rely on substitutes who can provide energy and defensive stability, particularly in wide positions. Celta Vigo face their own injury challenges, with Javi Rodriguez and Javi Rueda unavailable due to foot and thigh injuries, and Williot Swedberg out with an ankle problem. These absences force both coaches to rethink rotations and potential tactical tweaks.

Tactically, Levante under Julián Calero are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on compact defensive organization and quick counters through the wings. The midfield duo will provide cover for the backline while supporting transitions, and forwards like Karl Etta Eyong will be tasked with exploiting any space left by Celta. Celta’s manager Claudio Giráldez is likely to employ a 3-4-3 setup, emphasizing ball possession, controlled buildup, and attacking through wide areas. The visitors aim to create overloads on the flanks and maintain pressure to force errors in Levante’s defensive shape.

Press commentary has highlighted Levante’s struggles at home, noting their inability to secure a win at the Ciutat de València so far this season. Analysts point to defensive lapses as a recurring issue and have questioned the team’s ability to respond to sustained pressure. Conversely, Celta’s improving form has been recognized in the media, with commentators praising their organization, adaptability on the road, and recent positive results that position them as slight favorites heading into the clash.

Studio pundits are debating whether Levante’s defense can withstand Celta’s wide attacks and whether the visitors’ absences will compromise their fluidity. Some analysts suggest the game could be tight, with chances at both ends, but Celta’s controlled style and recent momentum give them a slight advantage. The consensus is that this match could be a turning point for Levante if they manage to capitalize on counterattacks, while Celta aim to continue their run and demonstrate resilience despite missing players.
