H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Celta de Vigo Team Overview
⚪ Celta's back-to-back defeats have weakened their position in the standings. The Celts' bold style of play not only boosts their scoring rate (1.47 goals per match - 5th best in the league) but also impacts their defensive reliability (1.53 goals conceded per match - 18th in the league). Nevertheless, fans are encouraged by their team's strong performances at Balaídos, where they've collected 30 points from 16 games (5th in the league).
🔗 One of Celta's key attacking figures is Borja Iglesias. The 32-year-old Spaniard netted a hat-trick against Barcelona. His presence as a target man simplifies the team's transition from defense with long passes and enhances their threat during set pieces.
❌ Still sidelined for the Vigo club are Carl Starfelt and Norwegian youngster Ddons El Abdellaoui. While the Swedish defender is a crucial part of the backline, the Norwegian could have added depth to the bench.

Villarreal Team Overview
🟡 The "Yellow Submarine" continue their steady march towards securing a Champions League spot for next season. Last weekend, Villarreal extended their unbeaten run to four matches. Marcelino's squad has been particularly impressive on the road, amassing 30 points from 16 away games, which ranks them second in the league. Their striking efficiency is also noteworthy, averaging 1.77 goals per match, the third-best in the league.
📣 After dropping points in a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad last round, Marcelino expressed his dissatisfaction: "The match was unusual. I'm convinced we deserved more than just one point. We scored five goals, three of which were disallowed. Nevertheless, I must say that my team's performance was fantastic. Now we need to learn from our mistakes and keep moving forward."
❌ In the last round, Sergi Cardona picked up his 10th yellow card of the season, meaning he will miss the upcoming clash against Celta due to suspension. Among the unavailable players is Ilias Akhomach, who is still recovering from a knee injury.
