Valencia register their worst defensive record in 32 years Valencia Conceded 26 goals away from home

Whilst Albert Celades was praised with his work getting Valencia back on track, there can be no hiding from the fact that Los Che's defensive record has been appalling, with the team conceding the highest number of away league goals by this point of a season in 32 years.

Back in 1987/88, Los Che had conceded 27 away goals by the 25th match of the league campaign, whereas Celades' charges have conceded 26 by the same point in 2019/20.

Only Real Mallorca have conceded more away goals than Los Che this season, which is hard to believe when you consider the fact Valencia are well in the hunt for Champions League qualification.

Defensive woes have followed the team into their European campaign too, with their recent trip to Milan to face Atalanta culminating in a 4-1 defeat, which all but ends their participation in the tournament.

These 26 goals have all been conceded across just 12 matches, and there are still seven matches left for the club away from Estadio Mestalla.
