Villarreal vs Celta Vigo – Villarreal, the reigning Europa League champions, are desperate for a top-six finish to ensure that they will be able to represent the league in Europe the following season.
They are currently seventh in the table and need just two points to move up to the sixth place.
It should be noted that their comparatively lower position in the table is due to their performance earlier in the season. They had a sluggish start to their campaign and are now attempting to make up for lost points.
It also helps that they are playing Vigo, who are one of the worst road teams in the Spanish top flight. Furthermore, they have a poor head-to-head record against the Yellow Submarines.
Expect Villarreal to win this weekend at their home stadium, Estadio de la Ceramica.
Villarreal vs Celta Vigo – Betting Statistics
Villarreal did lose 1-0 on the road to Osasuna on the last day of the season. They were, however, on a six-game unbeaten streak prior to that, and they have been unbeaten at home since November.
Furthermore, they had scored three or more goals in four of their previous seven home games, and five or more goals in three of these games.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, won 4-3 on the road last week against Mallorca. However, they were on a three-game losing streak prior to that, and they are also on a five-game losing streak on the road.
Moreover, they have only won once on the road since November, and they have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five road trips. Taking these observations into account, Villarreal should win today’s game against Celta.
Only Real Madrid and Sevilla have conceded fewer goals in La Liga this season than the Yellow Submarines. They have only lost one league match at home in the last four months, and that loss came against Barcelona.
