Two teams chasing European football next season meet at the Balaidos on Wednesday evening as Celta Vigo host Villarreal.
Celta enter Wednesday's clash on the back of consecutive defeats, but the Sky Blues showed last weekend that they can compete with league leaders Barcelona. Giráldez González's side led 3-1 at one stage of the game, only to lose out to a late penalty. However, having won three of their last five home games, Celta fans will be confident that their side can claim victory on Wednesday.
Villarreal, meanwhile, are unbeaten in four Spanish top-flight encounters. Marcelino García Toral's side had to come from behind to draw 2-2 with Real Sociedad on Saturday afternoon, but they will take heart from the fact their recent away record is excellent going into Wednesday's game. The Yellow Submarine have won their last two away games and failed to win just one of the last five.
Celta Vigo vs Villarreal Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Celta would have taken at least a point against FC Barcelona last time out were it not for their defensive instability. Os Celestes have kept just two clean sheets in their last 16 matches, but have found the back of the net in all but one of those games. Bets on BTTS - Yes won four of their six home games during that period.
Villarreal have also had their fair share of defensive problems this season and the Yellow Submarine boasting only one clean sheet in their last six league outings. Both teams scored in each of their last two away games and I expect that run to continue on Wednesday.
- Best Tip: BTTS - Yes
- Celta Vigo vs Villarreal prediction: 1-1

Celta Vigo team news
Despite coming away empty-handed against FC Barcelona last time out, Celta Vigo head coach Claudio Giráldez González is not expected to make any changes to the side that started that game.
Having found the back of the net three times in that encounter, Borja Iglesias is expected to lead the line, meaning veteran striker Iago Aspas will start on the bench once again.
Carl Starfelt is facing 10-15 days on the sidelines with a muscle injury, but the hosts don't have any suspensions for Wednesday's game.
