Opposition:

Valencia CF will travel up north to take on Celta Vigo on Friday night football on the 23rd of August, with a 7 p.m. kickoff local time at the Abanca Balaídos, on Matchday 2 of the 2024-25 LaLiga EA Sports season.

Valencia CF has a poor record away at Celta Vigo, with 19 wins, 23 draws, and 29 losses across all competitions. Last season saw a 2-2 draw on the last day of the season, with goals from Alberto Marí and a Carlos Domínguez own goal.
