Celta Vigo: current form, latest results, statistics
Celta has become a nerve-free team lately. There is a disturbing lack of attitude, which has led the team to the moving sands area. Club veterans call on players to get the most out of trying to save the team from relegation. The competitive break came in time for this band. He has only won 4 points in the last 12 matches and has not scored more than 360 minutes. He got to a place, 18, who sends it to Segunda, if he is busy at the end of the season. Lucas Olaza is one of the new players brought back during the January transfer. Only he has not been used so far, despite Junca’s defensive deficiencies. Now his injury gives him the chance to enter the basic formula. Iago Aspas has not received his medical opinion yet. It may come on Thursday when the players who have been summoned to the national teams are also consulted. His absence is very important, as Aspas is the main scorer of the team, with 10 goals in the 18 games disputed.
Villareal: current form, latest results, statistics
For Villareal this interruption came at a time when it could not be worse. She had a series of four consecutive victories in her two ladies, La Liga and Europa League. So he managed to put 4 points between her and the first relegation place, even occupied by Celta. Javier Calleja hoped in a calm time to prepare this final part of the championship. But it was not like that. Miguel Llambrich injured last training last Monday, and recovery time will last between 6 and 7 weeks. This injury came as no surprise that the list of absentees was quite busy, with Bruno, Trigueros, Javi Fuego, Jaume Costa, Bonera and Gerard Moreno. In addition, with Celta, you will also miss Funes Mori suspended. Mario Gaspar, on Tuesday’s training session, received a strong kick that forced him to withdraw earlier from the training session. It remains to be seen if he joins the list of players who will stay home. Big problems are in the defensive, where it is possible to miss 4 players. It will be a real challenge for Calleja to place the players he has in his best positions. For Villareal comes a very difficult time with matches with Barcelona, Betis and Valencia. Karl Toko Ekambi, 6 goals, is the main marker of the team.

Celta Vigo vs Villareal Picks
It is an important meeting for both teams. Villareal has a lot of trouble building up the formula that will get into the field. There are many absences, especially in the defensive. The hosts are hoping, it’s really small, Aspas to be in the batch. It would be a big plus for Celta. Fran Escriba had the time to prepare this meeting. There is an urgent need for a positive result. Celta has a big chance of winning over 13 years on my own field, but I will double up so that the bet is also a winner in the event of a tie.
