Two of Spain’s European contenders, Celta Vigo and Villarreal, clash early in the season, both finding themselves in different positions. The hosts are still winless in this campaign, while the guests sit at the top of the table, despite having one game less.
Celta Vigo Team News
One loss and two draws are the total tally for Celta since the start of the season. Two points in three games is certainly far from expectations, especially because the loss came at home against Getafe and one of the stalemates against Mallorca. Both of those teams finished below Celta last year, meaning that the team will have to up its performance. Los Celestes have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their previous 3 La Liga fixtures, while also failing to score in one game as well – the loss to Getafe. All of their fixtures so far have produced exactly two goals.
Villarreal Team News
The Yellow Submarine is off to a fantastic start this season, securing 2 wins in its 2 opening league fixtures. What is more impressive is that Villarreal is actually at the top of La Liga, holding a perfect record of 6 points, 7 goals scored, and none conceded. This seems like a stark improvement over last year’s defensive lapses, which caused Villarreal to be the team with the most amount of games in which both they and their opponents score. Another important aspect to keep in mind is that the team has also managed to retain its attacking prowess, and despite having a match less, is still the highest-scoring outfit in La Liga with 7 goals after matchday 2.
Head-to-Head-Games
Games between Celta and Villarreal tend to be close, but the Yellow Submarine has a slight advantage with 3 wins across the last 5 H2H fixtures, as opposed to Los Celestes’ 2. All of the games in that period produced over 2.5 goals, with 4 producing over 3.5 and 3 over 4.5 goals.

Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Betting Prediction
My pick here is for over 2.5 goals. The H2H stats between Celta and Villarreal paint a picture of a rivalry with many goals in recent meetings. Additionally, Villarreal’s recent form has been good and their offensive output – great. While Celta has experienced some hiccups at the start, they also managed to score in their 2 most recent league matches. All of this leads me to believe that we will see over 2.5 goals here.
