Spain Copa del Rey | Valencia VS Celta Vigo; Thursday, 18 January at 03:00 GMT +8

Valencia has had a successful season, closing the gap with European cup teams to a few points. Under Ruben Baraja’s leadership, they have not lost in the last five games in all competitions. In a recent match against Cadiz, Valencia won 4-1, thanks to better goal-scoring chances from the guests.

Celta Vigo is facing significant challenges this season, with only two points above the drop zone. Despite early losses, they are slowly recovering from the bottom. Rafa Benitez’s team has lost only one of the last nine matches, and with a strong defense, they will travel to Valencia for the upcoming Copa del Rey tie.

Valencia will not play their upcoming matches due to Selim Amallah and Mouctar Diakhaby’s absence at the African Cup of Nations, Roman Yaremchuk and Andre Almeida’s absence, and Hugo Gonzalez’s questionable condition.

Celta will be without Jonathan Bamba, Franco Cervi, Carl Starfelt, and Joseph Aidoo in the Copa del Rey tie game against Valencia.

Predicted lineups:

Valencia

Goalkeeper: Giorgi Mamardashvili
Defenders: Dimitri Foulquier, Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel Paulista, Jose Gaya
