Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Prediction & Tips
Celta came close to springing a surprise on Saturday at the Lluis Companys but squandered a two-goal lead that had Barcelona on the brink of doom (1-3) and ended up losing 4-3 to the league leaders.
Vigo are eighth and are in a fierce battle with Mallorca for seventh place, which entitles them to play in the Europa League as Spanish football will have five representatives in the Champions League next season. They are just one point behind the Balearic side, who have the difficult task of visiting Barcelona at the Lluis Companys this week. The Galician side awaits Villarreal, fifth and with 52 points.
Villarreal are just one point ahead of sixth-placed Betis, but have a game in hand. They are coming off a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad in a controversial game in which they had three goals disallowed. The third was particularly questionable and would have allowed the Villarreal side to maintain an important cushion over Betis, which is now just one point.
