Match Context

The La Liga clash at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos in Vigo is scheduled for 12 May 2026 (kick-off 17:00 UTC). Celta Vigo enter the fixture 6th in the table on 50 points with a goal difference of 5, while Levante sit 19th on 36 points with a goal difference of -16.

Celta Vigo Availability

Celta Vigo have several concerns. Miguel Román (Foot Injury) is sidelined. Carl Starfelt (Back Injury) is sidelined. Matías Vecino (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. None of Celta’s listed absentees feature among the league’s top scorers or assist providers, so their main attacking reference Borja Iglesias (14 goals, 2 assists) is available to lead the line.

Levante Availability

Levante also travel with issues. Carlos Álvarez (Injury) is sidelined. A. Primo (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined. Unai Elgezabal (Knee Injury) is doubtful. Iván Romero (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. As with Celta, none of these names appear among the league’s leading scorers, meaning key forward Carlos Espí (9 goals) is available.

Impact Summary

Both sides lose depth rather than primary attacking weapons. Celta’s main disruption is defensive and midfield stability, while Levante’s absences affect goalkeeping, midfield balance, and squad rotation more than direct goal threat.
