Celta de Vigo Villarreal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts in the field two teams that have been campaigning similarly so far in the Spanish Championship. While Villarreal is still in the top six, Celta de Vigo is in the middle of the standings, with three points less than its opponent. The home team has been attacking from the flanks, and bets a lot on set pieces, showing a lot of efficiency at the time of concluding, however its defense fails in the coverage of the sides and defending set pieces. Villarreal stands out in the counterattacks and deep balls, but its defense also fails in defending set pieces. Thus, we expect a very balanced game, between two limited teams, being a good option to bet on the draw, but with favoritism for the home team.

Playing at home, the team won just over 50% of the points played. The 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 should be the tactical formation used in this match, with Jonny standing out on the left side.

In its last clash, the team saw Barcelona dominate the game, finishing with only nine finalizations and 32% of ball possession, registering another setback at home. Although it is far from the numbers of Barcelona, Valencia and Real Madrid, the team has been characterized by a good offensive system, which is among the eight best in the competition. Away from home, the team owns the sixth best campaign, and in this condition also has the sixth best attack. It is likely that the coach will organize the team in the 4-1-2-1-2 or in the 4-4-2, and will not be able to count on Raba, who is suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Asenjo, Mario Gaspar, Jaume Costa, Álvaro González, Víctor Ruíz, Rodri Hernández, Samu Castillejo, Pablo Fornals, Roberto Soriano, Manu Trigueros, Carlos Bacca.
