Latest football commentary Villarreal vs Celta Vigo
The 2023-24 season was a disappointment for Villarreal, who finished eighth and missed out on European football. Notably, they sold top scorer Alexander Sorloth to Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window. However, the Yellows made nine new signings, with Logan Costa from Toulouse the most notable, and Thierno Barry joining the attack.
Villarreal opened their La Liga season with a 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid on August 19 and then won 2-1 against Sevilla on Friday night. Ayoze Perez scored the winner in the 95th minute, sending Villarreal up to second place in the table.
Villarreal have won three of their last five games against Celta, including a 3-2 win last season, but Celta will go into this game with confidence. Last season, Celta finished 13th, but they had a successful campaign between 2014 and 2016, so a strong campaign is not a surprise.
Celta, under Claudio Giraldez, have started the season impressively with a 2-1 win over Alaves and a 3-1 win over Valencia, with Iago Aspas scoring twice in the two games. They face Villarreal and Osasuna before the September international break.
Celta have made just three signings in the transfer market, including Unai Nunez on loan, and Borja Iglesias and Ilaix Moriba. The biggest departure was Jorgen Strand Larsen, on loan to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Celta, though, have no problems finding the back of the net and are aiming for a third successive win. Villarreal have the home advantage in this game, and we predict the Yellows will pick up a vital three points.
