Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing both teams to score because six of the last seven meetings have seen goals at both ends. Villarreal average 1.78 goals per game at home, while Celta\u2019s shot accuracy (42.9%) is among the best in the league. Both teams have attacking threats in top form and defensive vulnerabilities, as seen in their identical clean sheet tallies (8 each).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Villarreal to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/10 @ Betfair<\/a>
(47.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe\u2019re siding with Villarreal at home because they\u2019ve won 10 of the last 19 H2Hs and sit 3rd in the table with a +20 goal difference. Celta\u2019s away form is mixed, and Villarreal have a knack for outscoring visitors in high-stakes fixtures.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
