Match Predict – Villarreal Double Chance
After their amazing performance and result against the former league winners, Real Madrid, in the last round, Villarreal is really hungry to win against Celta. At least a draw result is expected in the game.
Both teams to score – Yes
Considering the statistics and the meetings both teams had previously in all Spanish competitions, out of the total 20 matches, 50% of the games have ended up with both of the teams scoring in the game as we expect the scenario to be repeated.
Total Goals Over 1.5
Numbers and statistics are the most important tools for predictive analysis. As mentioned above, in the previous 20 games, 65% of the games have ended up with a minimum of 2 goals in a game(13/20). We are certain that the minimum number of goals will be 2.
Celta Vigo:
Coming back from New Year’s Celta Vigo had the chance to grab a very valuable win against Elche playing away from home to climb the ladder and get out of the relegation zone which is getting harder and harder as the rounds pass by. In their last 3 games, Celta Vigo has lost only one game with a win and a draw. In the previous seasons, Celta Vigo used to compete better and fight against the big teams, especially Barcelona. This season, they are facing problems as they are currently located in the 16th position.
Villarreal:
On the other hand, Villarreal had a turn of events after their manager left for Aston Villa. However, this seems to be a good turning point after they appointed former Barcelona and Betis manager, Setien to manage the team. The new manager plays offensive football as Carlo Anchellotii mentioned and suffered as they lost a valuable La Liga game against Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica. In their last 4 games in all competitions, Villarreal has won all the games as they are currently in the 6th position.
