Next rival analysis: Valencia

Valencia C.F. is Celta's next rival, and they will play at 18:00 (spanish time) on saturday, at Mestalla.

Despite being under Celta at the clasification, we have to take into consideration that they have playes against Barcelona and Real Madrid already. In three games played, he managed just 2 points, with two draws against Madrid and Deportivo at home. They have conceded 5 goals and scored 4, so it is a pretty even position, considering the rivals they have faced.

Last season with Unai Emery as a Manager (now at Spartak Moscow), they finished the season on 3rd place, a very respectable position, only after Madrid and Barcelona, and has establishd themselves as the third team of the league. But as the Board of Directors wanted fresh air in the dressing room, they hres Mauricio Pellegrino as a replacement. Pellegrino, a former Valenci and Barcelona player, has little to none experience as a head coach, and has yet to prove his value. The Valencia supporters havealready showed their impatience with their team, and after a 3-3 draw at hoe against Deportivo, which they where winning 3-1, the booed their team. So expect the crowd to get impatience and nervous in case things don't go well for Valencia as the match goes on.

They have a very good goalkeeper in Diego Alves. This brazilian international isregarded as one of the top keepers in the league, with a good skill for stopping penalties. As a reserve they had Guaita, who is also a great goalkeeper.

The deffensive line was one of the most refurbished lines during the transfer window, as they signed Portuguese international Joao Pereira and french international Aly Cissokho for both right and left defender. This adds more depth  to theirsquad, completed as a central defenders by internationals Victor Ruiz and Adil Rami.

As a central midfielder they signed argentinian international, Fernando Gago from Real Madrid, to strengthen their creative part of the game. He will be joined by Feghouli and Andres Guardado. Pablo Piatti is out  due to a injury, and also David Albelda will be out, so this will make more than likely Pellegrino chose Parejo as the fourth man.

In the attack there is no doubt who the duo will be: Jonas y Soldado. This top strikers are a threat to any deffense, and Celta will have to be on top form to be able to get points at the end of the game.
