Celta Vigo, Recent FormCelta Vigo manager Claudio Giráldez will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 away defeat by Alaves. They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 0 on target. By comparison, Alaves managed 16 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Giráldez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Villarreal, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Villarreal racked up a stunning 3-0 home win against Rayo Vallecano. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Rayo Vallecano had 16 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Marcelino García Toral will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Of the 18 games they have played away from home this season, they have scored in 14 of them, but they've conceded at least one goal in 28 of their 33 games both home and away.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 6 games in a row.
Goalscorer Alexander Sørloth will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Villarreal.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 3-2 win for Villarreal.
El Submarino Amarillo will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Celta having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 15 meetings. When Villarreal visit Os Celestes in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Villarreal has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Celta in 5 games.
Celta manager Claudio Giráldez has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Joseph Aidoo (Cruciate ligament), Mihailo Ristić (Muscle), Renato Tapia (Muscle) and Kevin Vázquez (Personal reasons) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral with Eric Bailly (Physical discomfort), Juan Foyth (Thigh) and Denis Suárez (Hamstring) all unavailable for selection, and Yeremy Pino (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
