Celta Vigo take on the visitors Villarreal in the round 17 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, January 13th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo).
Celta again slipped into a struggle for survival. Galicians not so long ago not only made it to the European Cup - they were able to there, knocking out Shakhtar Donetsk and Krasnodar in the playoffs in succession, reached the semi-final, where they ran into Manchester United itself. But soon the potential of Iago Aspas and company narrowed down to simply not relegating to the Segunda. Eduardo Coudet coped with this, but after 2 years of work, in the fall, the Argentine was shown the door. He was replaced by Carlos Carvalhal, but so far there is no sharp breakthrough with him either. Even in winter, after a long pause, the Portuguese wards managed to fly out of the cup, losing 1-3 to Espanyol. And in La Liga they started only with a draw against Sevilla, which have their own troubles. But they won against another outsider, Elche, due to the only goal of the captain-goal scorer.

Villarreal also changed coaches this season. “Yellow Submarine” in 2021 was able to take the first significant trophy in history, grinding out the victory in the Europa League (suffice it to recall the protracted penalty shootout in the final against Manchester United). In the next cycle, they repeated the record, reaching 1/2 of the Champions League. However, LaLiga’s results were regressing, which is probably why Unai Emery was not particularly held back when he was called by Aston Villa. But the bet on Quique Setien did not work very well. It took him a long time to get used to the new place. But the winter began with victories both in the cup and in LaLiga against Valencia (strong-willed 2-1). And, most importantly, the score was repeated with Real Madrid!
In 2021, Celta took 4 points out of 6 possible. But last March, thanks to a single goal from Dani Parejo, Villarreal won at home. The submariners seem to have made steady progress. We recommend betting on their victory on the road - but with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win with 0.0 handicap.
