Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2024-25

Villarreal were the better side when they last met.

Celta Vigo are all set to host Villarreal on matchday 33 of the LaLiga 2024-25 edition. Estadio de Balaidos is ready for an intense Spanish league fixture. It will be interesting to see the better team this time around.

Celta de Vigo are in eighth place and still have a chance to secure a Champions League spot for the coming season. They had a blast of a match against Barcelona last time around in the LaLiga.

However, they fell prey to them in a close contest. This time, they will be at home and should have some confidence in themselves.

Villarreal are in the fifth place and are likely to seal a spot in the UCL next season. They have shown some decent performances. The team will be looking to win another contest so that they can be more comfortable here.

As they have previously secured a win over Celta Vigo this season, Villarreal will be looking to complete a double over them.

Players to Watch

Borja Iglesias (Celta Vigo)

Celta Vigo’s hat-trick hero from the last game, Borja Iglesias, will be in action once again. Although his hat-trick went in vain, the 32-year-old Spanish forward will be looking to score some more for his side. It was a great performance by him against Barcelona.

The player will be looking to repeat the same.
