Celta Vigo vs Levante Competition – La Liga Stadium: Balaidos Date: 12th May 2026 Kick-off time – 18:00 GMT
Tuesday evening brings a La Liga clash of starkly contrasting ambitions as Celta Vigo host Levante at Estadio de Balaídos. The home side have long since secured their top-half credentials and are seeking to close the season in style, while the visitors arrive in Vigo in the grip of a relegation battle with everything still to play for.
The Sky Blues head into this fixture in encouraging form. Their most recent outing produced one of the results of the weekend, a 1-0 away win at Atlético Madrid that announced their intent to finish the campaign strongly. Prior to that, they beat Elche 3-1 at Balaídos in a comfortable home victory. Before that, back-to-back away defeats — 2-1 at Villarreal and 1-0 at the Camp Nou — had placed a question mark over their consistency. Earlier in this run, they were beaten 3-1 at home by SC Freiburg in Europe. The current sequence of W-W-L-L-L from most recent tells the story of a side that has rediscovered its teeth at precisely the right moment.
Levante, meanwhile, are a team fighting for their lives but not without belief. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-2 home win over Osasuna — a result that showed real character and provided a timely morale boost. Prior to that, they were dismantled 5-1 away at Villarreal in one of their heaviest defeats of the season, a game that laid bare the defensive vulnerabilities that have haunted them all campaign. Before that, they earned a goalless draw at Espanyol, a point that demonstrated their capacity to grind. Earlier in this run, they posted back-to-back home wins — 2-0 against Sevilla and 1-0 against Getafe — underlining that Balaídos or not, this group retains the ability to take points. A sequence of W-L-D-W-W is not the form of a side ready to accept relegation.
The head-to-head record favours Celta Vigo, who have won three of the last five meetings, with two draws and no wins for Levante. Most recently, Celta claimed a 1-2 victory at Levante’s ground in November 2025. In the previous encounter, the sides drew 1-1 at Balaídos in February 2022.
Celta sit sixth in La Liga with 50 points from 35 matches, four points behind Real Betis in fifth — a gap that remains mathematically closeable if results fall their way. Levante, by contrast, are anchored in 19th place with 36 points, one point below Alavés in 18th and firmly inside the relegation zone. Three points here would lift them to 39, moving them above both Girona (38) and Alavés (37) and into 17th — outside the drop zone for the first time in months. The margin for error is gone; this is a must-win.
