Goals in that match came from Iago Aspas (22′), Anastasios Douvikas (82′), and Jørgen Strand Larsen (39′) for Celta Vigo, while Gonçalo Guedes (65′) and Alberto Moreno (12′) scored for Villarreal. The home factor may play a significant role in this encounter, given Villarreal’s fluctuating performances at home compared to their away games.
Team analysis: Celta Vigo
After achieving 12 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses, Celta Vigo currently sits in 8th place with 43 points. In their latest match, they suffered a 4-3 defeat against FC Barcelona, following a prior loss at home to Espanyol (0-2). This team maintains a balanced performance regardless of the venue, as seen in their last 30 games where they recorded 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, compared to 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses at home. In their last 10 home matches in the league, Celta Vigo has earned 20 points out of a possible 30, with 6 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. While their defensive solidity has been questioned, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 outings, their attack has remained potent, scoring in 9 out of the last 10 league games. In 32 matches, they conceded the first goal on 21 occasions but managed to turn the score around just 5 times.
Celta Vigo goes into this round after a tough 4-3 loss on their trip to Barcelona, where the three goals were netted by Borja Iglesias. At home, under the management of Claudio Giraldez, they are likely to stick to their usual 4-3-3 tactical system, aiming for a balance between defensive resilience and offensive flair. Up front, the trio of Williot Swedberg, Pablo Durán, and Borja Iglesias are expected to pose a threat across the attacking zones. Fran Beltrán serves as the creative fulcrum, with a keen eye for the match and the ability to control the rhythm, playing a central role in transitions and overall organisation. All players are available for selection in this match.
Team analysis: Villarreal
Following a record of 14 wins, 10 draws, and 7 losses, Villarreal sits in 5th place with 51 points. Their most recent match ended in a 2-2 draw at home against Real Sociedad, preceded by an away victory against Real Betis (1-2).

A recurring scoreline for the away side this season has been 1-2, occurring in 7 of their 15 away matches. They have conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 games, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of the last 10 league matches. In 31 La Liga games, they have conceded the first goal 13 times, managing to turn the score in 4 instances.
Villarreal arrives at this fixture with confidence following a 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad, with goals coming from Yéremy Pino and Ayoze Pérez. In this away match, it is expected that the team, guided by Marcelino Toral, will adopt a more cautious stance, focusing on defensive balance. They are likely to maintain their 4-4-2 system, with Ayoze Pérez and Thierno Barry as their key attacking players, both poised to exploit space during swift transitions. Dani Parejo will continue to play a crucial role in managing the rhythm and connecting the midfield. However, Pape Gueye will miss the match due to suspension, along with injured players Tajon Buchanan and Ilias Akhomach.
