Villarreal vs Celta Vigo Betting Tips: BTTS / Over 2.5 Goals
Villarreal return to action this weekend looking for a first win in four matches after an entertaining 2:2 draw against Atletico Madrid in their opening fixture of the La Liga campaign.
Having failed to win any of their final three pre-season friendlies, the Yellow Submarine were forced to settle for a draw despite leaving twice against their visitors from Madrid.
Then, on Friday, Marcelino´s side claimed an impressive 2:1 road victory at Sevilla to maintain their unbeaten start to the La Liga campaign.
Villarreal are usually a reliable choice for those looking for BTTS contests, particularly in home fixtures. The hosts have seen BTTS in 20 of their last 25 home league matches. An average of 3.77 goals were scored across those contests.
Each of Villarreal´s final four home fixtures of the season saw over 2.5 goals scored, with both teams scoring in three of those games at la Ceramica. Both outcomes were again witnessed in last week's opener and in Villarreal's Friday evening contest at Sevilla.
Celta make the trip south after picking up an opening day victory in their match against Alaves, with club legend Iago Aspas on hand to net a late goal that secured a 2:1 success. The Sky Blues then scored an even more impressive 3:1 win against Valencia on Friday.
Like Villarreal, goals can usually be expected when Claudio Giráldez´s side are in action. Celta saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored in nine of their 12 most recent league contests, and in three pre-season matches before seeing the same outcomes in their first two league games of the season.
Considering those numbers, we have to be confident of seeing BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored on Friday. I´m backing both outcomes as a single selection on Monday.
