Villarreal

The "Yellow Submarine" finds itself at the lower echelons of the league this season, currently occupying the 14th position with only a three-point buffer from the relegation zone. In the last fixture, Villarreal succumbed to Real Madrid on the road with a 1-4 scoreline. However, their performance in the Europa League has been more promising, securing the top spot in their group after narrowly surpassing Rennes. The club faces seven personnel losses ahead of this encounter.

Celta

The championship proves challenging for the "Celts" as they currently reside in the relegation zone, holding the 18th position. Celta trails 17th-placed Sevilla only on additional metrics, but their competitor has a game in hand. In the last round, the team secured a crucial victory at home against another direct rival, Granada, with a 1-0 scoreline.

This victory, the second in the league for Rafa Benitez's proteges, is seen as crucial for escaping the danger zone. Celta faces two personnel losses, including their team leader Iago Aspas, who is serving a suspension.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Villarreal has failed to win in La Liga for three consecutive matches.

• Celta is on a four-game unbeaten streak in the league.

Forecast

Initially, the hosts were considered favorites, but now the chances for success between the two teams have leveled. With only a three-point gap between them, these are direct competitors facing each other. We deem a wager on the home team's victory with a zero handicap as viable.
