Their most recent result was a 0-0 draw at Valencia in the league on August 22.

What is the recent head-to-head history?
In the last five top-flight meetings, Celta Vigo holds a favorable record of three wins, one draw, and one defeat. The most recent encounter dates back to March 18, 2018, and ended in a 0-0 draw at Balaídos. Among Celta's victories, a 3-1 home win in January 2017 and a 1-0 win at Balaídos in May 2016 stand out. This history, combined with the current eight-place gap in the table, marks the Vigo side as the favorite on paper.
The September 13th match represents a clear opportunity for Celta Vigo to earn three important points at home and distance themselves from the lower positions. With a goals-for average so far this season and a defense yet to concede, the team is searching for its first league win. The squad, which you can review on our squad page, demonstrated its scoring ability in pre-season with results like a 4-1 win against Sassuolo. A victory over Malaga could provide the necessary momentum to face the rest of the September calendar with greater confidence.
