Villarreal hosts Celta Vigo in round 28 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, March 12th at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal)
In the last round, Villarreal quite unexpectedly lost to Osasuna away (1-0). A streak of five matches without defeats was interrupted (four victories and one draw). After that setback, the team's chances for a place in the Champions League zone reduced slightly. Let me remind you that the Yellows are in the 7th position in the standings with 42 points after 27 matches. The gap to the top four is already six points. Emery's men continue their unbeaten streak at home. It amounts to seven matches (five wins and two draws). I can't help but note that Villarreal is among the top three clubs in La Liga in terms of points earned on the home pitch (28 in 14 games). All the home results of the team look like this: eight victories, four draws, and two defeats with a goal difference of 34-14. No one in the championship of Spain scores more than Villarreal at home.

Celta Vigo put very important three points in their piggy bank in the last round. The Celts were stronger than Mallorca in a home goal shootout (4-3), and Iago Aspas scored a brace. The striker has already delivered 12 accurate shots in the current draw of LaLiga. In the previous seven games, the Galicians gained three victories and three draws and suffered only one defeat. In total, Celta already has 35 points, and this is enough to be in 10th place in the standings. Most importantly, the gap from the relegation zone is 11 points. The Sky Blues have never shone on foreign pitches. However, their away results in the current season look quite good: four victories, five draws, and four losses with a goal difference of 13-12. Ten out of 13 matches ended with “Both teams to score — no.”
The first head-to-head match between Villarreal and Celta in the current Spanish championship ended in a 1-1 draw. In the previous season, Villarreal managed to beat Celta away (2-4). Seven previous confrontations between Villarreal and Celta at Estadio de la Ceramica ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. I'm sure that Villarreal players will try to make up for the defeat in the last round. And despite the intransigence of the Celts, the Yellows are likely to be closer to victory. They perform very well at home (eight victories and four draws in 14 games). Plus, do not forget that the Levantines scored 34 goals at Estadio de la Ceramica. Celta is regularly gaining points on foreign pitches (17). But at the same time, the Sky Blues scored only 13 goals in 13 games (with 12 goals conceded).
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win
