Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips
The break in the Spanish LaLiga lasted over three months before it finally resumed play on Thursday evening. On the Iberian Peninsula there are still eleven match days to complete and there will be no more abstinence from football in the coming days and weeks. The re-start was opened with the Andalusian derby in Seville and now games in the Spanish football upper house follow every day. On Saturday Celta Vigo and Villarreal will face each other in Galicia.
After such a long break and the relatively short preparation time, the first game is an indicator of the direction anyway. But this game is of enormous importance for both teams with regard to the rest of the season. The hosts from Galicia are in acute relegation difficulties and are only one point ahead of the endangered zone.
Villarreal is still struggling to return to Europe, but suffered three losses in a row before the lockdown and is now four points behind and urgently needs to be counted. The momentum before the long break clearly spoke for Celta Vigo, now the best bookmakers expect a balanced game. A look at the betting base odds comparison shows balanced betting odds between Celta Vigo and Villarreal.
The game starts on Saturday at 16:00 p.m. The game can be seen live on the DAZN streaming portal. Due to the fact that from now on Spanish football is offered every day, our readers should favor the tip category football Spain to keep up to date.
Celta Vigo:
The little Celts from Vigo are now playing their eighth season in a row in the Spanish football upper house, but as in the previous season, the battle for relegation is the determining topic in 2019/20. Last year, Fran Escriba’s team saved as table 17. just wafer-thin. The current look at the betting service table service shows that the Galician are just above the ominous line.
It has to be rated absolutely positively that the team of ex-Salzburg coach Oscar Garcia is now on the ominous line. After a catastrophic start to the season, the club’s management was forced to make changes and presented Oscar Garcia as the new head coach in November. For Oscar Garcia, the job at Celta is actually the first post in his Spanish homeland.
Since it was taken over, the shape curve of the sky blue has clearly been pointing upwards.
Before the lockdown, Celta Vigo even scored five times in a row (two wins, three draws). Goalkeeper Ruben Blanco has not conceded a goal in the last three league games.
At Salzburg, Oscar Garcia stood for an offensive spectacle, while in his home country games of his team are not for fans of offensive football.
Villarreal:
The past season was marked by great fear of relegation in the camp of the yellow submarine. After many years in which Villarreal was able to perform internationally, 2018/19 was about bare survival. Thanks to strong performances in the finish, the relegation could be fixed early. During this season, Javier Calleja’s team was back in the usual spheres from the start and moved around the international starting positions.
What is striking is the lack of consistency in performance. A look at the results so far shows enormous fluctuations. Weak phases are followed by a few games in which the team called up the existing quality and came up with countable achievements.
With currently 38 points from 27 games, the team is only six points short of reaching 44 points from the previous year. Satisfied faces are still not to be seen, however, because head coach Javier Calleja has to deal with harsh criticism time and again. The enormous fluctuations in performance are absolutely incomprehensible to many fans.
Villarreal’s last LaLiga success came on February 15, when the small derby against Levante ended in a 2-1 win. This victory was followed by defeats against Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and, surprisingly, also against relegation candidate CD Leganes. With the triple zero on the credit side, Villarreal is now eight points behind the coveted Europa League starting position seventh.
Games from Villarreal are definitely recommended to a neutral football fan. The yellow submarine shows a clear game philosophy, long balls do not belong in the repertoire. The team around Altstar Santi Cazorla always tries to find playful solutions. As a result, the offensive game is extremely pleasing. On the defensive, however, a risk pass is often played instead of choosing the “hit the ball away and reorder” variant.
Unsurprisingly, the fact that Villarreal conceded a relatively large number of goals for a Europa League aspirant and games with the participation of the yellow submarine are characterized by many goals.
