VAL vs CEV Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

There’s no escaping for Celta Vigo as their tough start to the new season see them face another top team in Valencia this weekend at Balaidos.

Celticos fans must not be happy after the 2019-20 La Liga fixtures were announced, handing them Real Madrid, Valencia, and Sevilla as their first three opponents.

But Vigo played fairly well but were outgunned eventually by the supreme quality of Los Blancos. We expected a repeat of that when the Los Che turn up at Balaidos this weekend.

The La Liga match will be played between Celta Vigo and Valencia at Balaídos, in Vigo, Spain. The ground has a capacity of 29,000.
The game will start at 12:30 AM (IST), on Saturday, August 25.

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:

Rodrigo: Had a strong 2018-19 season as he racked up 8 goals and 6 assists throughout the season.

The 28-year-old will be looking for another strong season again with the Los Che.

Last Season’s Stats:

• Games: 33
• Goals: 08
• Assists: 06

Iago Aspas: The most vital cog in this team. His absence at the back end of the season almost cost Vigo their La Liga status.

But he is fit now and will be looking for another strong start in front of the goal.

Last Season’s Stats:

• Games: 40
• Goals: 20
• Assists: 06

Brais Mendez: The 22-year-old is one of Vigo’s prized assets. He can be a bit consistent but that’s understandable for his age. Expect a good game from him considering Valencia’s problems on the wings.

Last Season’s Stats:

• Games: 31
• Goals: 06
• Assists: 07

Kevin Gameiro: A proven talent at the very top level. His versatility and the ability to contribute to the team’s cause makes him a very important part of this team. The former Sevilla man must be feeling good after scoring in the last game.

Last Season’s Stats:

• Games: 33
• Goals: 06
• Assists: 01

Suggested combination:

VAL vs CEV Dream11 potential winner:
Valencia are favorites to win the match.
