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 have 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 meetings with Celta, including a 3-2 win last season, but Celta will be in high spirits. Last season, Celta finished 13th, but they have enjoyed successful seasons since 2014-16, so a strong campaign is not out of the question.
Celta, managed by Claudio Giraldez, have started the season impressively with 2-1 wins over Alaves and 3-1 wins over Valencia, with Iago Aspas scoring twice in both games. They face Villarreal and Osasuna before the September international break.
In the transfer market, Celta have made just three signings, 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 problem finding 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.
