Celta Vigo take on the visitors Villarreal at “Balaidos” in the matchday 16 of the Spanish LaLiga. The game will be played in Vigo on Sunday, December 17th.
This December brings Celta Vigo many tough battles. At first the team had got 2:2 draw against Barcelona, then lost 1:2 to Valencia with another solid opponent ahead. With 15 rounds behind, “Celestes” occupy the 11th place in the elite division standings with 18 points earned and 27-23 goal difference. The team conducted seven clashes at their own turf in this season, having collected 11 points with 11-9 goal difference in them. Besides, the club won the last two encounters: 3:1 vs. Athletic Bilbao and 1:0 against Leganes.

Villarreal failed all three December fights: 1:3 to Leganes, 0:1 to Maccabi Tel Aviv and 0:2 to Barcelona. As a result, with 21 points gained and 22-20 goal difference “El Submarino Amarillo” is currently sitting on the sixth position in the LaLiga table. Javier Calleja’s team simply disappoints on the road, having taken eight points with eight goals for and 14 goals against in eight away games. Villarreal won only one out of five recent clashes conducted at away fields.
Villarreal have not been beaten by Celta Vigo across three recent head-to-heads in a row, moreover, they recorded three clean sheets in them: 0:0, 5:0 and 1:0. However, taking into account this season’s statistics as well as the visitors’ current form, I presume that Villarreal have minimum chances for a triumph in the Sunday battle. The hosting side looks stronger now and it always plays aggressively at its own turf.
Prediction for the match: Celta Vigo to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
