Villarreal Celta de Vigo betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of goals from both sides. Villarreal desperately needs victory to get away from the relegation zone and should take a rather offensive posture, but that will certainly leave plenty of space behind. In addition, all Celta de Vigo's 6 away games had goals from both sides, while Villarreal did not concede goals in only 1 of the 7 matches it played at home. Given these factors, we believe in an open game, with good offensive volume from both sides, several goal chances created and both Villarreal and Celta de Vigo should score goals.

Preview
Villarreal and Celta de Vigo face at Camp El Madrigal, in a match for the 15th round of the Primera División. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 3 and lost 2. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primera División, on 28‑04‑2018, Villarreal won by (4‑1). C. Bacca (13' , 35' and 38' ) and Samu Castillejo (90' ) scored for Villarreal and P. Sisto (34' ) for Celta de Vigo. Celta de Vigo registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Villarreal

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 14 points won, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Real Betis, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Barcelona, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Almería by (8‑0). For the league, Villarreal won 6 points out of 21 possible points, after 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses in the last 7 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Villarreal is campaigning far below expectations in La Liga, having won only 1 of its last eight games and is looking for a recovery as it is the first team above the relegation zone which has a 3-point lead. The big problem has been its attack that has scored only 13 goals and is the fourth worst in the competition, while the defense has suffered 16 goals and is the seventh less leaked but has dropped a lot of income in this sector and conceded goals in the last eight rounds. 
Playing at home, such as this Saturday's match, Villarreal has encountered enormous difficulties, has the second worst use of the competition and it is worth noting that it did not concede goals in only 1 of its 7 games in this type of situation, again showing the difficulties that the defense has been having in the last rounds. 
For the game against Celta de Vigo, coach Javi Calleja should maintain the lineup of the last round where, despite the defeat, performed well against the strong Barcelona.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Asenjo, Mario Gaspar, Álvaro González, Víctor Ruíz, Pedraza, Santiago Cáseres, Manu Trigueros, Pablo Fornals, Samuel Chukwueze, Santi Cazorla, Gerard Moreno.

Analysis Celta Vigo

The away team is currently in the 13th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Real Sociedad, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Huesca, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 5 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 34 conceded; against 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa del Rey, they got an away loss against Real Sociedad by (2‑0). In the last 6 away league matches Celta de Vigo has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 18 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 6 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 49 of the last 57 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 10 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Celta de Vigo finished a series of 3 games without winning with a good win in the last round and now is looking for 3 more points to try to get closer to the next season's European competition qualifying zone. The team has a powerful attack that has scored 25 goals and is the third best of the competition, but its defense, on the other hand, has suffered 22 goals and is the fourth most leaked, both having conceded at least 2 goals in 3 of the last 4 rounds. 
Playing away from home, as the match of Saturday, Celta de Vigo has encountered huge difficulties, coming from 3 losses and 2 draws and it is worth mentioning that all 6 games the team played away from home had goals from both sides, since it usually attacks a lot and goes up, but ends up leaving many spaces behind. 
For the game against Villarreal, coach Miguel Cardoso should enter the field with the same team that beat Huesca in the last round.

Confirmed Lineup: Rubén Blanco, Hugo Mallo, Juncà, David Costas, Néstor Araujo, Okay Yokuşlu, Jozabed, Brais Méndez, Sofiane Boufal, Iago Aspas, Maximiliano Gómez.
