Sevilla FC now lead the Primera Division table on six points after two matches in a seventeen-team league, leaving both Valencia and Celta de Vigo five points adrift of the summit. Valencia finished ninth last season with 49 points, while Celta placed sixth with 54 points.
Valencia arrived at this matchday 2 fixture carrying an unbeaten four-match run that included a 3-1 victory against Barça, though that streak of scoring in four consecutive matches finally halted. Celta travelled with their own six-match scoring run intact, despite having suffered a 3-2 defeat against Levante within their recent outings.
Recent history between the clubs has favoured Celta, who won 3-2 on this ground in April 2026, adding to three wins from their last six encounters compared to just one for Valencia alongside two draws. On this occasion, Celta edged the possession with 56 percent and registered three shots on target to Valencia's two, while Valencia produced eight total shots against seven for the visitors. Standout performers included Valencia defender César Tárrega with a 7.9 rating and Celta defender Marcos Alonso, who earned a 7.5.
Valencia will next play at home against Real Betis on 25 August.
