My people, make we yarn small about the hot match wey dey come this Saturday for La Liga, as Celta Vigo go show Valencia pepper for Estadio de Balaídos. Na big clash for two teams wey dey reason their life o; Celta dey seventh for table, while Valencia dey waka small-small for 17th. E no go clean, but who go scale the matter this time?
As we dey enter 2026, both teams dey try collect points to ginger their league position. Celta don rack up 23 points from 17 matches, but wetin we see? Dem get 8 losses, 5 draws, and only 4 wins. Na like this dem dey manage their season, enough to make one reason them twice before betting your cash. Last match, dem just make am all go waste as dem draw 0-0 with Real Oviedo. E be like say dem no fit find net good again.
For other side, na Valencian boys we dey talk about. Dem dey feel the pressure as dem dey one tiny point from relegation zone. Valencia don gather just 16 points, no good at all. Last time wey dem play, dem manage draw 1-1 with Mallorca, but as dem no fit score enough, na so dem see their name dey near the danger line. To think say last season dem finish 12th, e no sweet at all, no matter how you look am.
Celta don beat dem before, na 3-1 last season for their last match, but Valencia wan remind dem say dem fit win back too, as they don carry the day 2-1 before for Mestalla. Who go sabi wetin go happen for this match? Na draw make sense, but Celta fit carry the day for their home.
As dem prepare to showcase their players, Celta gats miss Manuel Sanchez wey dey suspended. E go tight for dem because dem gats play without him for midfield. Valencia self dey feel injury wahala, with Stole Dimitrievski and Eray Comert wey dey hold their own. Last time wey dem see for pitch, Dem split time as substitutes, but maybe this time around, dem fit gain ground as they push for more goals.
Make we no forget Iago Aspas, Celta top striker wey always sabi locate the net. Na him inspire dem every time. Valencia dey get Arnaut Danjuma wey fit shake any defender stand; he dey score as well. E go make sense if both teams fit show us plenty goals, but who know, we fit just see stalemate like before.
No matter how e take go, this one na one match wey everybody go dey watch, and I dey sure say fans go fill the stadium to enjoy the show. Make we just sit down watch dem play, take a few drinks—who know, maybe your team go carry the day.
