This could be an interesting match as Celta de Vigo have their presumed home advantage while Villarreal are ahead 6 points in the La Liga table.
- Celta de Vigo has the most matches over the total-line (11) in La Liga
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Villarreal have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Celta de Vigo form and stats
Celta de Vigo have played 8 La Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). Celta has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio de Balaídos. We remember; it was Real Sociedad.
The fans are hoping that Celta will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-5 away loss in the Copa Del Rey game against UD Ibiza. Prior to that, an away loss at Real Madrid in the La Liga.
A goal frenzy last time out for Celta, with a total of 7 goals in the match against UD Ibiza. Fun stuff to watch! The penalty miss from Santi Mina in the defeat against UD Ibiza was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The Celta de Vigo fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Celta defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
