Villarreal v Celta Vigo

Villarreal vs Celta Vigo Preview

Only three league places and three points separate Wednesday's 14th placed hosts, Villarreal, and their 17th placed visitors, Celta Vigo, prior to this Wednesday night's clash at the Estadio de la Cerámica with Villarreal looking to avoid a third league defeat on the trot in La Liga following a heavy 4-1 loss away from home at Real Madrid, while Celta Vigo extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to four games after recording a 1-0 home win against Granada.

Despite sitting in 14th place in the La Liga table, Villarreal have only managed to capture just four wins to date this season and the hosts have collected just two victories in their previous 12 matches overall in the domestic top flight, so there appears to be no guarantees of success for Marcelino and his Villarreal side on Wednesday night.

However, the goals market appeals here as 10 of Villarreal's last 12 league matches have resulted with both teams scoring and another goal-laden encounter could be on the cards here on Wednesday night, especially as nine of Villarreal's last 10 home games in La Liga have also seen both teams hit the back of the net as well.

Although the visitors have put together a stubborn looking four-match unbeaten run in La Liga, Celta Vigo have also found league wins hard to come by so far in this season's La Liga campaign as the visitors have managed to capture just two wins throughout the whole of this season.

Rare victories over the likes of Almeria (away) and Granada (home) have been either side of a disappointing and worrying winless run of 12 league games overall which consists of six draws and six defeats so they too are by no means guaranteed of a result at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Wednesday night.

However, goals could feature here in this upcoming encounter as eight out of Celta Vigo's last 14 matches overall have also seen both teams score, while six of Celta Vigo's last 10 outings on the road have also resulted in both teams scoring as well.

Having also kept just two clean sheets within their last 15 away trips in La Liga, Celta Vigo look a fairly solid bet to concede here at the Estadio de la Cerámica in what could prove to be a tightly fought battle between two struggling sides against Villarreal.

Villarreal v Celta Vigo Verdict

Neither Villarreal nor Celta Vigo are in particularly good form right now as both teams find themselves languishing in the lower reaches of the La Liga table but goals for both teams do look likely here especially as four out of the last five meetings have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.
