 Celta Vigo

After trailing 0-3 in the first half, before pulling it back to a 3-3 draw in the last minute of the game against Barça, Celta have sent a clear message that they are capable of competing with anyone. Unfortunately for them, the standings do not reflect the good play they have produced in many games this season.

Celta are the fourth worst home team in the competition, with one win, one draw, and five defeats in seven games at Balaidos. They are also, along with Levante, the team that have conceded the most goals at home, with 11 goals in seven games.

The last five meetings between the two clubs have averaged four total goals per game.

 Villarreal 

Villarreal’s season has been rather surprising so far, as they should in principle be fighting to finish among the top six teams, but they are currently in twelfth position.

Villareal have four draws and two defeats in six away games, having scored just three goals in those games. They need to improve a lot in that respect to be among the top teams in the standings.

However, Gerard Moreno’s return to the squad after injury is great news for Villarreal.

Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Predictions

Despite Villarreal’s poor performances so far this season, we think they are going to be a good match for Celta. Celta are lower in the standings, but they have the home advantage. In summary, we think that both teams are fairly evenly balanced for this match, so a draw is a very likely result.
