While we thought it was once again gone to have to fight for the maintenance, Celta Vigo got back in the direction of travel rather abruptly. After having chosen to appoint the Argentinian Coudet on the sidelines, the club relaunched in La Liga in 5 successes in 6 days, against Cadiz (4-0), Alaves (2-0) and Huesca ( 2-1) in particular with a draw in the meantime conceded to Getafe (1-1). On the other hand, this good series logically ended last week against Real Madrid (2-0). Despite this defeat, the Galicians remain in 8th place in the standings with 7 units ahead of the first relegation.
For his part, Villarreal had a very good first part of the season which allows him to now occupy 4th place in the standings with a small point behind on the 3rd step of the podium occupied by Real Sociedad. Not always very regular in recent weeks, the Yellow Submarine first went to win at Osasuna (1-3) before sharing the points with Bilbao (1-1) and losing to Seville (2- 0). On the other hand, last week, the players of Unai Emery started again by winning in front of Levante (2-1).
The workforce for Celta Vigo vs Villarreal
For Celta, substitute goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez and hitherto unused defenders Kevin Vazquez and Junca have been joined in the infirmary by striker Nolito but also, and above all, by top scorer Iago Aspas. It’s a real blow for the Galicians when you know that they have scored 4 and 9 goals respectively this season. Finally, the Chilean midfielder Tapia will be suspended for this meeting.
Once again, the left side Alberto Moreno (ex Liverpool), the very good Paco Alcacer (5 goals) and the holders Mario Gaspar, Iborra and Coquelin are still on the floor. Recently recruited, Frenchman Etienne Capoue, an executive for Watford, could make his debut in this match. Against Levante, the excellent Gerard Moreno scored his 9th goal of the season.
