Villarreal come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Osasuna last week. The only goal of the game was scored in the 63rd minute and Villarreal could not find the equaliser in the remaining 30 minutes of the match.
That result ended a run of 6 games without defeat for Villarreal. They had previously beaten Mallorca, Real Betis, Granada, and Espanyol in La Liga. There were also draws at home against Juventus in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga.
Form in La Liga shows Villarreal are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 games. They have not lost any of their 7 most recent league games at Estadio de la Cerámica, winning 5 and drawing 2 of those matches. Villarreal have little trouble when it comes to scoring goals at home in La Liga and they have scored 2 or more goals in 6 of their last 7 on home soil in the league.
Celta Vigo make the trip to Estadio de la Cerámica having previously beat Mallorca 4-3 at home in an exciting match last weekend.
Celta Vigo took the lead three times during the game and each time, Mallorca came back with an equalising goal. However, when Celta Vigo scored their fourth goal from the penalty spot in the 90th minute, there was no time for Mallorca to respond.
It was an important victory for Celta Vigo who has been struggling to win games recently. Having been held to a draw by Cadiz and Levante, Celta Vigo lost 2-0 at Atletico Madrid.
Trends show Celta de Vigo are unbeaten in 6 of their 7 most recent matches but have achieved just 1 win in their last 8 away games in all competitions. However, Celta Vigo are not easy to beat on the road and they are undefeated in 7 of their last 9 away La Liga fixtures.
Team news and Villarreal will be without the injured duo of Alberto Moreno and Paco Alcácer. Every other player should be fit and available.
Celta Vigo will travel without suspended defender Hugo Mallo following his red card last weekend. He could be the only absentee for the visitors.
This has the makings of being a tight game. Celta Vigo may not be winning many matches but they are tough to beat. Villarreal may have one eye on their Champions League fixture with Juventus and this one could end level, with both teams scoring.
