Villarreal will look to go three in three at the start of the 2025-26 La Liga campaign as they travel to Celta Vigo for a matchday three clash on Sunday. This match at Balaidos Stadium between the 13th-placed Sky Blues and the top-placed Yellow Submarine comes with our prediction of over 2.5.
Having played three games in the season, Celta have two points (D2, L1) without a win. Villarreal won both their matches and are top of the table with six points and a goal difference of plus seven.
Celta drew 1-1 at home against Real Betis on Wednesday for a second draw in a row with the same score. Last weekend saw them get a point in a 1-1 away stalemate at Mallorca.
Their other home fixture of this campaign came on matchday one when they lost 2-0 to Getafe. It’s still early days, but Celta will look to get a win on the board quickly to ease their nerves.
Villarreal have no such problems, as they won both their games comprehensively. They started with a 2-0 home win over Real Oviedo before posting a 5-0 win over Girona last weekend at home.
This is their first away game of the campaign, but confidence will be high after winning six of their last eight trips in La Liga.
