Villarreal – Celta Vigo : Preview & Prediction
Villarreal, in seventh, could have broken into the top six and moved into the European places had they won at Osasuna last weekend. The yellow “submarine” suffered its first defeat on Basque soil (1-0) since 16 January. It was the first time the team had lost a game in the Basque Country since 16 January, and it was the first time they had won three and drawn three of their six games. Etienne Capoue’s partners (1 goal) had already won two games in the Spanish league, against Granada (4-1) and Espanyol Barcelona (5-1). Villareal, unbeaten at home since 27 November, held Celta Vigo to a 1-1 draw in the first leg and could bounce back this weekend. Celta Vigo’s 4-3 home win over Mallorca in the last round of matches was a morale-booster. The win was a boost to the morale of the current 10th-placed side, who had drawn at Cadiz CF (0-0) and Levante (1-1) before losing to Atletico Madrid (2-0) on 26 February. Will Celta make it 6 trips without success (2 draws and 3 defeats)?
Villareal have lost just once in their last 10 La Liga games.
Villareal are unbeaten at home in their last 8 games (5 wins and 3 draws).
Villareal have 2 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 matches against Celta Vigo.
Celta Vigo have won just 1 of their last 4 games.
Celta Vigo have not won away from home in 5 games (2 draws and 3 defeats), including La Liga and Copa del Rey.
Celta Vigo’s away record is poor and they could be in for another disappointment at Villarreal, who are aiming to qualify for Europe at the end of the season.
