Villarreal (also known as Villareal or Villarreal CF) and Celta Vigo (commonly referred to as Celta de Vigo, RC Celta or RC Celta de Vigo) meet again 8 months after the La Liga match which Villarreal won 3-1. Villarreal are aproaching the match after a defeat from Real Madrid last Monday. The coach and the players will probably put extra effort in the defense as they have been conceding goals for 3 consecutive matches now.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, are approaching the match in a good mood after claiming a 1-0 win in La Liga against Granada CF extending their unbeaten streak to 5 matches.
