Valencia CF look to stay true to UEFA Europa League history

The club have always managed to progress after winning away in a first leg

 

Throughout Valencia CF's history, there have been several constants. One such occurence is their record in the UEFA Cup and Europa League, which bodes well for this coming Thursday.

 

VCF have played 11 second leg ties having won the first encounter away from home, and have never failed to progress in such a situation. They will look to make it 12 against Celtic this week, hlding a 0-2 advantage from the encounter at Celtic Park on Valentine's Day.

 

Since their first UEFA Cup first leg away win in 1981/82 against Czech side Bohemians, up until the Last 16 of the Europa League in 2013/14 against Ludogorets, 11 away victories have been transformed into qualification for the next round.

 

Before this, in the Fairs Cup they played 5 rounds after winning a first leg away from home, and got through all of them safely.
