The pressure will be back on Celta Vigo this weekend, as the Spanish side look for a big home victory to ease the threat of relegation. Villarreal will be the travelling side, as they chase a third straight victory in the competition.
La Liga Preview
There will be huge stakes on the line in this fixture in La Liga on Sunday, as Celta Vigo bid to keep alive their hopes of another season in the top flight. They come into this round of matches sitting in an unsafe position, as they are just four points above the drop zone with five matches of the season remaining.
Their recent form has picked up slightly, as they are one of just two sides in the bottom five positions to have landed two victories across their last five matches in La Liga. But, they have now suffered defeats in two of their last three. Their most recent defeat was suffered on the road against Alaves, with Celta failing to record a single shot on target in that 3-0 defeat, despite having 64% of the possession.
Villarreal will also still have something still to play for this weekend, as they are still hopeful of finishing in the top seven positions. They come into this round of matches sitting ninth, but they have been in excellent recent form to close the gap on Real Betis to just four points.
Villarreal have recorded victories in their last two matches and they have gone three without a defeat. Meanwhile, they have lost on just a single occasion across their last five. They were handsome winners in their most recent outing after landing a 3-0 home success against Rayo Vallecano last Sunday.
Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Head to Head
Villarreal boasts a dominant record in this fixture, after winning each of their last two against Celta and three of their last four. They are also unbeaten in their last five league matches against their rivals. But, the last two matches between the sides in Vigo have ended in 1-1 draws.
Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Prediction
Villarreal’s dominant record in this fixture is extremely challenging to overlook this weekend. We could see the visitors enjoying another outing against Celta, and they look good value to record a third straight victory against their rivals on Sunday.
