Celta vs Villarreal: prediction for the La Liga fixture
On January 13, Celta will host Villarreal for the La Liga clash. Who will get a victory in the upcoming game? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Celta Vigo
SpainThis game may see as a no-brainer - favourite should be pretty obvious between the relegation candidate and a Top-4 contender. But Celta remain unbeaten in La Liga since the World Cup break. Recently arrived manager Carlos Carvalhal will hope for another positive result.
Vigo team disappointed the fans with an early exit from Copa del Rey after a defeat to Espanyol, but will try to make up for it in the league. After 16 matches of La Liga the Sky Blues have four victories and four draws, delivering 16 points and a 16th position in the league. Team also scored 16 goals so far in the season.
Mallo, Solari, Veiga and de la Torre will miss the upcoming game.
Villarreal
SpainAfter an inspiring home victory over Real Madrid last weekend, which was called «a remarkable performance against an outstanding opponent» by Kike Setien, Top-4 of La Liga is still within reach for Villarreal.
Team is ready for a first of four consecutive matches against bottom half opponents and it is a great opportunity to gain some points before the game against Barcelona on February. Back in 2019/20 season, Kike Setien got sacked just a few weeks after a 2:2 draw against Celta, so he knows how dangerous this team is, even despite an 11-point gap between the opponents in the standings. After 16 matches of a current season Valencian team has eight victories and three draws, delivering 27 points and a 6th position in La Liga. Team scored only 19 goals in the season so far.
Pedraza, Lo Celso, Jackson and Capoue will miss the upcoming game.
