Villarreal vs Celta: Celtic will fight back on the road

On Matchday 28 of the Spanish championship, Villarreal will play host to Celta. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

In their last game, Villarreal lost points in a straightforward encounter. It was against mid-table La Liga side Osasuna and suffered a minimal defeat. If the result had been the opposite, Unai Emery's side would have closed the Eurocup zone, but in reality they are seventh within two points of relegated Real Sociedad, who will face an outsider this weekend and clearly will not miss the chance to increase their lead. So, the home side shouldn't relax.

In theory, Celta could be in contention for a place in the European competitions, but in practice it will be extremely difficult. The team would need to earn nine points to get closer to the top seven, which is difficult. In their last three games, Celtic has drawn 1:1 with Levante, lost 0:2 to Atletico Madrid and beaten 4:3 at home to Mallorca.

Villarreal is the clear favourites according to the bookmakers, but we don't entirely agree. Celta isn't the weakest team in the Spanish La Liga. They've been relatively consistent in terms of goal scoring this season with an average of 33. On average, Celtic has scored just over one goal per game. Villarreal, of course, have significantly better statistics - 47, but we don't think it will be easy for the home side in this game. We think the final score will be 1:1 or 2:1. As an insurance policy, we'll take BTTS. Prediction: Both Teams to Score.
