Celta Vigo – Villarreal – Celta is in the middle of the table, and Villarreal is in sixth place in the European league, but the difference is only three points and this match can change. Villarreal is in a fall form and has three linked defeats, with the one in the European league painless, and once played against Barcelona. Celta also played against Barcelona but did not lose it while in the last round. Last season Villarreal scored in Vigo with 1: 0, while declaring Celtos 5: 0 on their field.
Celta Vigo
Changes have been made in Celts recent times, but it should be said that this team played against very strong opponents and it was not easy to score points and they managed to reach the most difficult match at Barcelona, where they were 2: 2. In Seville they were also close and lost 2: 1, and all of them repeated in the last round on Valencia. There was a victory over Leganes, also minimal, and the passage to the Cup, which had twice overcome Eibar.
And now there is a very tough match because Villarreal is at the top of the Spanish football. After Nou Camp, Cabral and Jonny Castro returned to the squad and Hernandez jumped, so they were even stronger, but they could not keep 1: 1. They now have two big handicaps, because the card can not be played by Hugo Mallo and the best player Iago Aspas.
Villarreal
It can not be said that this is a big crisis, although Villarreal has lost three tied games. Everything started somehow after the strange match against Sevilla when they had a 2: 0 lead in their field and lost 3: 2. They then won the Cup, and then a new defeat after the turn, this time away at Leganes, where they had 1: 0, to lose 3: 1. In the European league they were defeated by Maccabi, but that did not mean much, while in the last round they lost to Barcelona.
Of course, it was always difficult to play against the Catalans and they provided a solid resistance, however, at the end it was 2: 0. Perhaps they would endure that Raba did not get a red card half an hour before the end, and Barcelona used it with two goals scored. Asenjo returned to the goal, V.Ruiz on the corner, J.Costa on the left side, but there was no break for the injury. Now there will be no Bakambua for the card and that is a big handicap because he is the best shooter of the team. There will be neither Rabe due to suspension nor Semeda for injury, and Bacca returns.
Celta Vigo – Villarreal TIP
It is difficult to say who is closer to winning here, but it seems very certain that both teams will play open and win, without too much calculation. There are missing important offensive players, both Celts and Villarreal, but also some of the players from the last line, but we still believe the attackers will take the lead in Vigo.
