Celta de Vigo - Villarreal predictions

Celta de Vigo have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Villarreal. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Celta De Vigo on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

The Sky Blues went into the previous round against Real Betis with a slightly advantageous match-up and played as the home team. However, the first half did not go as planned, and they barely managed to equalize before the final whistle and get away with a 1:1 draw.

The visiting team are coming on the back of a decisive victory in their recent home game, which earned them 3 points and a solid 5:0 goal difference. Such an outcome was hardly surprising, though – most bookmakers online saw them as the clearly stronger team in that particular matchup.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

Looking back at the head-to-head stats for this matchup, Celta De Vigo are more than able to beat the odds and come out on top. They did so last season, even securing a considerable goal lead. Villarreal are still the favourites, though, and the betting odds are firmly in their favour.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.70 odds offered at 888Sport.
