Celta Vigo vs Levante Match Preview: La Liga Fixture Insights

Celta Vigo host Levante at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos in Vigo on 2026-05-12. The La Liga fixture comes in the Regular Season - 36, with Celta sitting 6th on 50 points and Levante 19th on 36 points.

Celta Vigo Availability

Celta face several midfield and defensive issues. Miguel Román (Foot Injury) is sidelined. Carl Starfelt (Back Injury) is sidelined, weakening the heart of the defence. Matías Vecino (Muscle Injury) is doubtful and will be monitored closer to kickoff. None of Celta’s listed absentees feature among the league’s leading scorers or creators, but their absence trims rotation options in a busy run-in.

Levante Availability

Levante also travel with notable gaps. Carlos Álvarez (Injury) is sidelined in midfield. Goalkeeper A. Primo (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, reducing depth between the posts. At the back, Unai Elgezabal (Knee Injury) is doubtful, while in attack Iván Romero (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, potentially limiting Levante’s ability to change games from the bench.

Impact Summary

From an attacking-output perspective, both sides retain their main threats: Borja Iglesias (14 league goals, 2 assists) for Celta Vigo and Carlos Espí (9 goals) for Levante are available. With key forwards fit, the primary impact of these absences falls on defensive stability and squad depth rather than headline attacking firepower.
