Celta Vigo vs Levante Match Preview: La Liga Clash

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 sixth on 50 points, chasing European qualification, while Levante sit nineteenth on 36 points and fighting relegation.

Celta Vigo Availability

Celta Vigo have notable midfield and defensive absences. M. Roman (Foot Injury) is sidelined. C. Starfelt (Back Injury) is sidelined, depriving the hosts of an experienced centre-back option. M. Vecino (Muscle Injury) is doubtful and will need a late fitness assessment in midfield. Top scorer Borja Iglesias, with 14 league goals and 2 assists, is available to lead the attack and carries much of Celta’s goal threat.

Levante Availability

Levante also face issues across the spine of the team. C. Alvarez (Injury) is sidelined in midfield. A. Primo (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, reducing depth in goal. U. Elgezabal (Knee Injury) is doubtful in defence, while I. Romero (Muscle Injury) is doubtful in midfield/attack. Key forward Carlos Espí, Levante’s leading scorer with 9 league goals, is available and central to their attacking hopes.

Impact Summary

Both sides lose structural pieces rather than primary scorers, with Celta’s back line and Levante’s midfield depth particularly affected. With Borja Iglesias and Carlos Espí both available, neither team’s main attacking output is significantly diminished for this fixture.
