Villarreal are having an easy run in the season with Champions League football all but assured. Pressure in their next La Liga game will be on their visitors, Celta Vigo, who are seventh. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Villarreal have an eight-point buffer ahead of fifth-placed Betis, who have even played a game more. The Yellow Submarines are coming off a 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Real Oviedo.
That leaves them unmoved in third place, on 62 points, largely unperturbed by Atletico Madrid, who have lost four straight league matches. Getting to play at home again is likely to lift spirits at Villarreal, as they’ve won each of the last four league games there.
Celta Vigo are coming off their third defeat in four La Liga matches, throwing their top six ambitions into disarray. In light of all competitions, they’ve suffered four straight defeats.
The Sky Blues have not only shown struggles in winning their matches, but the last two league outings saw goals dry up.
That is one of the areas the visitors will want to address after their 1-0 loss to Barcelona, where they failed to score for the second straight La Liga game.
Having claimed seven of their 11 league wins away from home, Celta will be confident of frustrating this particular host.

Our Villarreal vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Third-placed Villarreal will welcome a return home after their frustrating draw with Real Oviedo. At home this season, they’ve posted 12 wins out of their 15 league matches and only lost twice. In this game they will be gunning for a fifth straight home win in La Liga.
While Celta Vigo have also had a respectable away record in the league, we feel this could stretch beyond their reach. They are coming off four straight defeats, and our prediction for Villarreal v Celta Vigo is that Villarreal wins.
