Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Celta Vigo is 6.86, compared to 6.80 for Levante. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Celta Vigo's highest-rated starter is M. Alonso (7.06), while Levante's best-rated player is M. Ryan (7.24).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Celta Vigo have contributed 24 goals and 19 assists this season, led by F. Jutgla (9G). Levante's starters account for 22 goals and 20 assists, spearheaded by C. Espi (11G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Celta Vigo deploy 3 defenders rated 6.86 on average, against Levante's 4-man backline averaging 6.70. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Celta Vigo field 4 midfielders averaging 6.85, versus Levante's 5 rated 6.78. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Celta Vigo start 3 forward(s) averaging 6.83, compared to 1 for Levante averaging 6.88. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 83% for Celta Vigo and 77% for Levante. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Celta Vigo's starters have collected 40 yellow cards this season, compared to 48 for Levante. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Celta Vigo's starting XI is 25.7 (youngest: Y. Lago (21), oldest: I. Aspas (38)), while Levante average 26.4 (youngest: C. Espi (20), oldest: M. Ryan (33)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Celta Vigo's starters average 27 league appearances each, versus 27 for Levante. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
