The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Celta Vigo lock horns with Levante on Tuesday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Levante are in 15th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and are yet to hit their stride this season. The Valencia-based outfit played out a 1-1 draw with Elche last week and will want to take it up a notch in this match.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, are in the relegation zone at the moment and have struggled this season. The Galicians suffered a 2-1 defeat against Cadiz over the weekend and cannot afford another debacle on Tuesday.
Levante vs Celta Vigo Head-to-Head
Celta Vigo have a good record against Levante and have won 11 out of 22 matches played between the two teams. Levante have managed six victories against Celta Vigo and have a point to prove on Tuesday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 2-0 victory for Celta Vigo. Levante were not at their best on the day and will need to step up to the plate this week.
