Villarreal vs Celta Vigo Predictions

• Villarreal have only lost two of their 14 home league games
• Celta Vigo are without a win in five on the road
• Villarreal are unbeaten in eight at home in all competitions

Villarreal aiming for the top four

They may sit in seventh place at the time of writing, but Villarreal still harbor hopes of reaching the Champions League positions and their strong home form gives them a chance of achieving that goal.

Unai Emery’s side, who have a European Cup last-16 tie with Juventus to think about next week, are unbeaten in eight at La Ceramica, winning five of those matches.

They have picked up 28 points from an available 42 at home, with their two defeats coming at the hands of Barcelona and Osasuna.

Celta must improve on the road

Celta Vigo are still just about in touch with the European places as they only sit five points behind Villarreal, but their away record is holding them back.

Eduardo Coudet’s side are winless in five on the road and have failed to even score in three of those matches, while they have netted just 13 in 13 on their travels in La Liga.

They have actually won on their last three visits to La Ceramica, but this season just one of their four away wins has come against a team currently in the top half of the table.

I expect Villarreal to win this game, so that is my initial prediction, while I select 2-0 to the hosts as a correct score.
