Celta Vigo vs Levante Match Preview

The La Liga clash at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos in Vigo on 12 May 2026 finds Celta Vigo (6th, 50 points, goal difference +5) pushing for Europe, while Levante (19th, 36 points, goal difference -16) battle relegation.

Celta Vigo Availability

Celta Vigo face several midfield concerns. Miguel Román (Foot Injury) is sidelined. C. Starfelt (Back Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced option in defense. M. Vecino (Muscle Injury) is doubtful and will be monitored close to kickoff. From the attacking core, top scorer Borja Iglesias (14 league goals, 2 assists) is available and expected to lead the line, with Iago Aspas also in contention from the attacking group listed in the squad.

Levante Availability

Levante travel with notable absences. Carlos Álvarez (Injury) is sidelined in midfield. A. Primo (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, reducing depth in goal. U. Elgezabal (Knee Injury) is doubtful in defense, while I. Romero (Muscle Injury) is doubtful in midfield. Key forward Carlos Espí, Levante’s leading scorer with 9 league goals, is available to start.

Impact Summary

Celta Vigo retain their main attacking output through Borja Iglesias, so the bigger hit is structural, with Román and possibly Vecino missing in midfield balance. Levante’s primary scoring threat Carlos Espí is available, but the loss of Álvarez and uncertainty over Elgezabal and Romero may weaken their buildup and defensive stability.
