Celta Vigo hoping to remain at table-top after Villarreal clash.
In a captivating Monday night football clash, Villarreal aim to extend their unbeaten run against Celta Vigo, who look to defy their Monday night curse and maintain a top-of-the-table standing.
Villarreal
After a 2-1 win over Sevilla on Friday, Villarreal are back for a Monday night clash against Celta Vigo. Both sides were locked in a stalemate until Ayoze Pérez came off the bench to score the winner right inside stoppage time. Notably, it was Villarreal's first win in the new campaign.
Having escaped defeat in their opening two games and picking up four points along the way (1W, 1D, 0L), the Yellow Submarine is looking to stretch their unbeaten run to three games. With only one defeat in six La Liga matches against Celta Vigo (3W, 2D, 1L), securing three points shouldn't pose too much of a challenge for Villarreal. However, it's worth noting that their sole defeat to Celta Vigo came in their most recent meeting in May.
Villarreal's strong home record against the Sky Blues should leave Marcelino's side confident of picking up three points. They have won the last three home games against Celta Vigo, and a win on Monday night would extend their home winning run against the visitors to four games. A familiar 4—4—2 formation is expected, with Arnaut Danjuma pairing with Gerard Moreno in attack.
Unfortunately, Denis Suárez is ruled out due to injury, while Juan Foyth and Alfonso Pedraza are doubtful for this fixture. Despite these setbacks, Villarreal aims to carry their momentum forward.
Celta de Vigo
Celta Vigo are coming off a comeback 3-1 win over Valencia in Friday’s clash. Óscar Mingueza restored parity at the Balaídos after Vigo fell behind inside the first fifteen minutes. Five minutes later, Iago Aspas handed Vigo the lead, and Fran Beltrán eventually sealed the win right on the hour mark.
The result left Vigo with back-to-back victories and a spot at the top of the table. With the opportunity to have a go in Monday’s fixture of the next round, the Sky Blues will be hoping to maintain their position at the top.
However, an ominous atmosphere surrounds their visit to Villarreal. Vigo have won only one of their last eight visits to the Comunidad Valenciana in La Liga [1W, 1D, 6L], and they are without a win in their last eight La Liga games played on a Monday night [0W, 6D, 2L].
Claudio Giráldez will be keen to see his side break this winless run on Monday as he plans to deploy the 3—4—2—1 formation, featuring Borja Iglesias in attack.
