The Sky Blues saw their seven-match unbeaten league run come to an end last weekend after suffering a disappointing 3-0 defeat away to Rayo Vallecano.
Having previously recorded two victories and five draws during that sequence, the setback exposed some of the attacking limitations that Claudio Giraldez must now address.
Their recent defensive performances have improved, having kept three clean sheets in their last five La Liga matches.
Returning to Balaidos could provide some encouragement, as Celta have avoided defeat in their last four home league fixtures, winning twice and drawing twice.
However, their confidence may have taken another hit following Thursday's 2-1 home defeat to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Europa League.
Levante, meanwhile, arrive in Galicia under pressure after consecutive defeats against Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid.
Narrowly losing 2-1 to Sociedad before falling 2-0 to Atletico, the Frogs have slipped into the relegation zone.
Their away performance has been very poor, having failed to win any away game this new campaign, with three losses and three draws.
Levante's goal output on their travels is also concerning, with just three goals scored in their away league matches this season.

Whispers predicts: Celta 2-1 Levante
Celta Vigo enters this match as the superior team, with better form, and we predict a 2-1 win for the hosts.

A draw is valued at 5/2 (3.50), while an away victory for Levante is offered at 7/2 (4.50), making them the underdogs.
The market for over 2.5 goals is priced at 9/10 (1.90), while both teams to score (yes) is available at 3/4 (1.75), and a first-half draw is given at 5/4 (2.25).
