Furthermore, Valencia have never lost any of the 15 UEFA ties in which they have won away in the first leg. • Valencia's autumn campaign was in the UEFA Champions League, where they finished third behind Juventus and Manchester United in Group H (W2 D2 L2). • Celtic finished second in Group B, nine points behind Salzburg, and lost 2-1 at home to the Austrian champions in their final fixture only for a late equaliser for bottom club Rosenborg – who had lost their five previous games – at Leipzig to send them through at the German club's expense. Previous meetings • Valencia took command of the tie in Glasgow with unanswered goals either side of the interval from Denis Cheryshev and Rubén Sobrino. It was Celtic's joint heaviest home defeat in the UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup. • The clubs' only previous UEFA meeting ended with a penalty shoot-out win for Valencia at Celtic Park after both teams had won their home leg 1-0 in the 2001/02 UEFA Cup third round. The Spanish club also progressed when the clubs met in the non-UEFA 1962/63 Inter-Cities Fairs' Cup first round, a trophy they went on to retain. • Valencia are undefeated in four games against visitors from Scotland, winning three of them including the last two, against Rangers in the UEFA Champions League group stage – 2-0 in 1999/2000, 3-0 in 2010/11. • Celtic have won seven of their 31 UEFA matches against Spanish opposition, but none in Spain, where their record is D3 L12. They have lost on all of their last six visits, the most recent resulting in their heaviest European defeat as Barcelona overwhelmed Brendan Rodgers' side 7-0 at the Camp Nou on matchday one of the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League. Celtic have scored just five goals away to Spanish opponents, drawing a blank on ten occasions, and have won just two of their nine two-legged ties against teams from Spain. They also lost the 2002/03 UEFA Cup final 3-2 to Porto in Seville. Form guide Valencia • Fourth in the Spanish Liga in 2017/18, Valencia qualified for an 11th UEFA Champions League group stage campaign after two consecutive seasons without European football. Runners-up in that competition in both 1999/2000 and 2000/01, they won the UEFA Cup in 2004. • Valencia lost twice without scoring against Juventus in the autumn but took four points off both Manchester United and Young Boys, beating each at home and drawing away. • This is the Spanish side's fifth appearance in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 and they have won all four previous ties, without conceding at home, against Club Brugge in 2009/10 (0-1 away, 3-0 home), Stoke in 2011/12 (1- 0 away, 1-0 home), Dynamo Kyiv in 2013/14 (2-0 away, 0-0 home) and Rapid Wien in 2015/16 (6-0 home, 4-0 away).
