Celta Vigo vs Levante Match Preview: La Liga Showdown

Match Context

Celta Vigo host Levante at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos in Vigo on 12 May 2026, in La Liga Regular Season - 36. Celta Vigo arrive sitting 6th on 50 points with a +5 goal difference, while Levante are 19th on 36 points with a -16 goal difference and fighting relegation.

Celta Vigo Availability

Celta Vigo face several midfield and defensive absences. M. Roman (Foot Injury) is sidelined. C. Starfelt (Back Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced option at the back. M. Vecino (Muscle Injury) is doubtful and will need a late assessment. None of Celta’s listed absentees appear among the league’s leading scorers or card suspensions, so top scorer Borja Iglesias (14 goals, 2 assists) is available to lead the attack.

Levante Availability

Levante also have concerns across the spine. C. Alvarez (Injury) is sidelined in midfield. A. Primo (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, affecting depth in goal. U. Elgezabal (Knee Injury) is doubtful in defence, while I. Romero (Muscle Injury) is doubtful in midfield/attack.

Impact Summary

Celta Vigo, with 49 league goals, retain their primary attacking threat in Borja Iglesias, so the offensive structure remains largely intact despite midfield issues. Levante, on 41 goals, keep key finisher Carlos Espí (9 goals) available, but multiple injuries and doubts in defensive and midfield zones could undermine their ability to support and protect their attack.
