Celta Vigo, Recent FormCelta Vigo will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Elche. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Elche managed 13 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Carlos Carvalhal will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Iago Aspas will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Celta Vigo's 16 league games this season.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Real Madrid. In that game they recorded 49 of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Quique Setién will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Unable to score in 5 of their last 6 away games, they will need to improve in front of goal if they are to pick up more points. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Gerard Moreno will be looking to cause Celta Vigo some problems having scored 2 goals in Villarreal's last 6 away games in the league.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Villarreal.
El Submarino Amarillo will be confident of finding the net in this one against Celta, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 12 encounters between the two sides. Os Celestes have struggled for goals when Villarreal comes to visit The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Celta have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Villarreal. When Villarreal are away to Os Celestes in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
In the league, Villarreal have been unbeaten in the last 3 times they have visited Celta at The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.
Iago Aspas will be feeling confident of netting goals for Celta in this one against Villarreal with his scoring record of 4 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With no real injury worries, Celta manager Carlos Carvalhal will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Villarreal manager Quique Setién ahead of this clash, with Giovani Lo Celso (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Setién a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
