Los murciélagos lost 2-0 away to Real Madrid last weekend to remain in 13th spot on the league standings, a mere three points above the relegation zone.
Valencia missed manager Javi Gracia's presence due to a touchline ban as
Los Blancos exacted revenge on their visitors, following their defeat in the reverse fixture this season.
"We're left with a terrible feeling as we gave away the first half," said Valencia captain Jose Gaya, whose side beat Real 4-1 at home earlier in the campaign.
"It's not the first time this has happened this season and if we don't improve we won't get the results we need. We were better in the second half but overall we didn't show the intensity a game like this demands. We made it too easy for them."
Celta snapped a six-game winless run with a 3-1 victory over Elche. Santi Mina scored twice for
Os Celestes and will be eager to prove a point against his former employers this weekend.

Celta Vigo defeated Valencia 2-1 in the reverse fixture. Iago Aspas, who has netted nine times in 20 matches this season, scored a brace in Vigo but will miss Saturday's match through suspension.
