Team News

Villarreal
Celta Vigo
  • Alexander Sorloth is back to full fitness and could start up top with the in-form Jose Luis Morales.
  • Etienne Capoue is suspended and will sit this one out.
  • Villarreal go into the final match before the Christmas break with eight first team injuries.
  • Joseph Aidoo has suffered a serious ACL injury, which will see him ruled out for the rest of the season.
  • Iago Aspas is suspended for this match so Tasos Douvakis, who scored a brace in the cup for Celta a couple of weeks ago, could get his first start in La Liga this season.

Prediction

  • Celta Vigo could draw level on points with Sevila in 17th with a victory over Villarreal, who have suffered an injury crisis of late. Celta are unbeaten in five matches but have only managed to score two goals in their last four league games under the strict eye of Rafa Benitez.
  • Villarreal qualified for the round of 16 in the Europa Conference League having finished top of their group last week, but then lost 4-1 to Real Madrid on Sunday. Jose Luis Morales scored in that one. He has scored five goals in only six starts for the club, and has seemingly come alive under new boss Marcelino, who has put confidence in the veteran forward.
  • Somewhat of a six pointer, Villarreal could be well within safety going into the Christmas break with a victory here
