Celta Vigo vs Levante Match Preview: La Liga Showdown

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

Celta Vigo Availability

Celta have two confirmed absentees and one fitness concern.

  • Miguel Román (Foot Injury) is sidelined.
  • C. Starfelt (Back Injury) is sidelined.
  • M. Vecino (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.

None of Celta’s listed absentees feature among the league’s leading scorers, so key attacker Borja Iglesias (14 goals, 2 assists) is available to spearhead the hosts’ frontline.

Levante Availability

Levante also face a mixed picture.

  • Carlos Álvarez (Injury) is sidelined.
  • A. Primo (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined.
  • U. Elgezabal (Knee Injury) is doubtful.
  • I. Romero (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.

Top scorer Carlos Espí (9 goals) remains available, a crucial boost for a side that has scored 41 league goals but conceded 57.

Impact Summary

Both teams are missing players, mainly in deeper roles, so the primary attacking output is preserved. Celta can still rely on Borja Iglesias to lead an attack that has produced 49 goals, while Levante’s survival hopes hinge heavily on Carlos Espí’s contribution in the final third.
