Celta vs Villarreal Prediction 8 January 2021

The program of the eighteenth match day of La Liga will begin in Vigo, where the local Celta will face off against Villarreal.

After a disastrous start of the championship, Celta looked very good in recent confrontations with Cadiz (4:0), Alaves (2:0), Getafe (1:1), Huesca (2:1) and Real Madrid (0:2). As a result, the Galicians climbed to the eighth position with 23 points in the asset, 22-24 goal statistics and only six points behind the top four.

The fourth are Villarreal, who earned 29 points in seventeen rounds with the difference between goals scored and conceded at 22:17. However, over the past month, the Yellow Submarine have beaten only Osasuna (3:1) and Levante (2:1), while stumbling over Betis (1:1), Athletic (1:1) and Sevilla (0:2).

On paper, the guests are a little stronger, but Celta at home are able to impose competition on any team in the division, being in such good shape as it is now. Our prediction: the hosts will avoid defeat.
