Celta Vigo hoping to remain at table-top after Villarreal clash.
After a thrilling last-minute win against Sevilla, Villarreal are set to face Celta Vigo on Monday night, aiming to make it three matches unbeaten in the new season.
Villarreal
After a 2-1 win over Sevilla on Friday, Villarreal are back so soon for Monday night’s clash against Celta Vigo. Both sides were locked in a stalemate until Ayoze Pérez [90’+5] came off the bench for the winner right inside stoppage time. It was the first win for Villarreal in the new campaign.
Having escaped defeat in two opening games and picking up four points along the way [1W, 1D, 0L], the Yellow Submarine is looking to stretch the run to three unbeaten games. With only one defeat in six La Liga games against Celta Vigo [3W, 2D, 1L], picking up three points shouldn't pose too much of a problem for Villarreal. However, the sole defeat did come in their most recent meeting in May.
In addition, a fine home record against the Sky Blues should leave Marcelino’s side confident of picking up three points. Having won the last three home games against Celta Vigo, a win on Monday night would leave the Yellow Submarine with a four-game winning run on home soil against the visitors.
A familiar 4-4-2 formation with Arnaut Danjuma pairing Gerard Moreno in attack is expected. Denis Suárez is ruled out due to injury, while Juan Foyth and Alfonso Pedraza are in doubt for this fixture.
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.
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 maiden fixture of the next round, the Sky Blues will be hoping to keep their place at the top of the table.
However, an ominous atmosphere surrounds their visit to Villarreal, with Vigo having won only one of their last eight visits to the Comunidad Valenciana in La Liga. In addition, they are without a win in the last eight La Liga games played on a Monday night.
Claudio Giráldez will be eager to see his side break the eight-game winless run this Monday when he deploys the 3-4-2-1 formation, with Borja Iglesias leading the attack.
