Celta Vigo vs Levante Match Update

Match Context

The La Liga clash at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos in Vigo kicks off on 12 May 2026. Celta Vigo enter Round 36 in 6th place on 50 points, chasing Europa League qualification, while Levante sit 19th with 36 points and a negative goal difference of -16, fighting against relegation.

Celta Vigo Availability

Celta Vigo have several concerns. Miguel Román (Foot Injury) is sidelined. Carl Starfelt (Back Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced option in the back line. Matías Vecino (Muscle Injury) is doubtful and will need a late assessment in midfield. Importantly, leading scorer Borja Iglesias (14 league goals, 2 assists) is available to spearhead the attack. There are no suspensions reported.

Levante Availability

Levante also face notable absences. Carlos Álvarez (Injury) is sidelined in midfield. A. Primo (Shoulder Injury) is sidelined, reducing depth in goal. Unai Elgezabal (Knee Injury) is doubtful in defence. Iván Romero (Muscle Injury) is doubtful and may miss out in attack. Top scorer Carlos Espí (9 league goals) remains available to start up front. No suspensions are listed for Levante.

Impact Summary

Both sides lose structural pieces rather than primary scorers, with Celta’s defensive stability and Levante’s midfield rotation most affected. However, with Borja Iglesias and Carlos Espí both available, the core attacking output for each team remains intact.
