Valencia CF coach Javi Gracia faces his first away trip in charge of the team this weekend, but he has had positive experiences of facing opponents Celta Vigo in his career in the dugout to date. In fact, the Galician side are the Primera División team against whom he has emerged victorious the most times since starting out as a coach.
He has earned the three points against them on five occasions, the most recent coming during his final season at Malaga CF. On Matchday 18 of the 2015/16 campaign, his team ran out 2-0 winners over Celta at La Rosaleda.
Four years later, Balaídos is the venue. At the helm of his new club, Gracia will try to help Valencia CF to a first away win since December 7th, 2019, when they won 2-4 in a derby against Levante UD.
