Kick-off at 17:30 UK/ 18:30 CET
Venue: Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
Estadio de Mestalla will host Saturday’s football game between Valencia and Celta Vigo.
Los Che failed to spoil Real Madrid’s party in the Spanish capital at the weekend, with the team remaining in the danger zone.
Valencia are only three points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that this game is of big importance for the home side.
Guillamon Sanmartin returns from suspension, while Denis Cheryshev, Mouctar Diakhaby, Eliaquim Mangala, and Jasper Cillessen remain in the recovery room.
Os Celeste, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement ever since Eduardo Coudet took over the reins.
The Galicians aim to build on a 3-1 win over Elche, and seeing that Valencia are no longer considered one of the teams to beat in Primera Division, away win should be considered. The Celta boss can count on key players for Saturday’s showdown.
