Celta Vigo

WWDWLL

Celta Vigo will be looking for an improved result here after a 4-3 La Liga loss in their previous game against Barcelona.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Celta Vigo haven’t conceded. The facts show that Celta Vigo have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 9 goals in the process. Historical results aside, it remains to be seen whether such a trend will be sustained in this next match or not.

Coming into this fixture, Celta Vigo have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

Villarreal

LLWDWD ⚖

In their previous game, Villarreal drew 2-2 in the La Liga tie with Real Sociedad.

In that match, Villarreal managed 58% possession and 20 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For Villarreal, goals were scored by Yeremy Pino (7') and Ayoze Pérez (60'). Real Sociedad had 4 shots at goal with 4 on target. Mikel Oyarzabal (19', 49') was the scorer for Real Sociedad.

The stats tell the story, and Villarreal have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 7 goals in all. At the back, Villarreal certainly have room for improvement.

Their past results show that Villarreal:

• have not emerged victorious against Celta Vigo when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their prior head to head meetings going back to 12/03/2022 shows us that Celta Vigo have won 1 of these games and Villarreal 4, with the number of draws standing at 1.

There were also plenty of goals scored in those games, 24 overall which averages out at 4 goals per match.

📰 Team News: Celta Vigo

We think that Os Celestes will probably use the 3-4-3 formation in the match with Vicente Guaita, Javi Rodriguez, Carlos Dominguez, Marcos Alonso, Sergio Carreira, Fran Beltran, Ilaix Moriba, Oscar Mingueza, Iago Aspas, Borja Iglesias and Alfon Gonzalez.

🗞️ Team News: Villarreal

Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral has not got a full squad to pick from. Tajon Buchanan (unknown injury) and Ilias Akhomach (Cruciate ligament injury) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, El Submarino Amarillo seem likely to utilise a 4-4-2 lineup using Luiz Junior, Kiko, Juan Foyth, Logan Costa, Alfonso Pedraza, Yeremi Pino, Santi Comesana, Daniel Parejo, Denis Suarez, Thierno Barry and Ayoze Perez.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Villarreal have the capability to find the back of the net against this Celta Vigo lineup, however that might not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We are anticipating a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Celta Vigo by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Let’s see what eventuates.
