Celta de Vigo Villarreal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match has a great tendency to be open and with several dangerous plays, since the teams have enormous quality in the most offensive sector. In addition, Celta de Vigo aspires to return to the path of victory, and it is expected that they will enter the field with a very offensive strategy. On the other hand, Villarreal should dominate possession of the ball and enjoy the best chances to score. That said, all the conditions are met for the "Over 2.5 Goals" market to win.
