Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Predictions

• There have been three or more goals in nine of Celta Vigo’s last 11 fixtures
• Seven of Villarreal’s last nine away league games have contained 3+ goals
• The visitors are unbeaten in their last six La Liga outings on the road

Can Celta keeping?

Celta Vigo have found form at precisely the right time, with a three-match unbeaten run on home soil helping to keep them just outside of the La Liga relegation zone.

Claudio Giráldez’s side still have a lot of work to do to stay up though, particularly in defence, given they lost 3-0 to Alaves last time out, meaning their last 19 outings have yielded merely three clean sheets.

Indeed, when they play, goals tend to come, with nine of their last 11 games providing 3+ strikes, as have four of their last eight clashes at Balaidos.

Villarreal proving tough to beat

They take on a Villarreal side who are undefeated in their last six La Liga away games, including 3-1 and 3-2 wins at Real Sociedad and Real Betis.

In fact, seven of their last nine on the road in the league have featured at least three goals, as have six of their last eight La Liga matches at all venues.

Marcelino García Toral have scored 54 goals across the course of the league campaign, that’s more than anybody outside the top three, while they have conceded 55 times, giving them the worst defensive record outside the the bottom two.

I predict there will be three or more goals in this game, selecting 2-1 to Villarreal as a correct score prediction.
