Villarreal have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Celta de Vigo form and stats
Celta de Vigo have collected 9 points from their La Liga home games so far after 2-3-3.
It's back home for Celta de Vigo, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Elche away with the result 1-0. Aspas found the net in that victory. A big relief, as that was the first league win after playing, but not winning, eight fixtures in a row. The goalie Marchesín was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.11 out of ten. Marchesín topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Espanyol (after extra-time) in the Copa Del Rey.
Celta de Vigo has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded. When Celta de Vigo hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Sevilla, Real Valladolid, Getafe, Cadiz, Elche and Espanyol), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
Villarreal form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Villarreal, who have the most clean sheets (5) away in La Liga, playing as the away team in the La Liga this season.
Villarreal are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the fixture against Real Madrid (placed 2nd). Moreno, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.34. Moreno scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Ahead of that, the Copa Del Rey win away at FC Cartagena.
Observe: 12 of the latest 16 league games involving this side have ended with only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).
After this away game Villarreal return home for a Copa Del Rey game against Real Madrid. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Villarreal are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 6 times in 9 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
