HOh matches that seem intentionally put to break streaks. This is one of them, with a Celtic not very decisive in his field where he has only taken four points, the same ones that the Villarreal at home. If there is no draw, one of the two will breathe after the match.
“From Balaídos no more points can be escaped “, affirms the Celtic squad. And it is that the numbers, as local, of the Coudet are very deficient, where they have only added 4 of the 21 points in Game.
To date, they have lost, in Vigo, the meetings before Atlético, Athletic, Cádiz, Sevilla and Real Sociedad, winning only grenade and tying before him Barcelona. At the very least, the epic comeback against the Barça team is the last memory left by the Celtic team in Balaídos and they want it to be a starting point to become strong as locals.
In front they will have a Villarreal what was the team that inflicted the biggest win the Celts last week. It was already with Eduardo Coudet on the bench and by a resounding 0-4, in Balaídos. The party was held last January the 8th and in minute 31 the overwhelming final score was already reflected, with so many Gerard, Moi Gómez, Parejo and Fer Niño.
At least the celtic they took off the thorn in the second round match, winning in Villarreal by 2-4.Santi Mina did doublet for those of Coudet, also marking Brais Méndez and Solari.
For the game this Saturday, the Argentine coach curiously recovers two of the then scorers, Santi Mina and Brais Méndez, while he loses, due to injury, to Hugo Mallo and, by penalty, to Renato Tapia.
Villarreal looking for his first away win
The Villarreal travels to Vigo with the aim of getting his first victory away from La Cerámica this season in the League. The yellows are not capable of take off on the board, and part of the fault is his results at home. To date, the team that Unai trains Emery add four ties on the courts of Espanyol (0-0), Atlético (2-2), Mallorca (0-0) and Real Madrid, since they have fallen defeated in San Mamés before the Athletic (2-1) and in Mestalla before the Valencia (2-0).
Villarreal appears with goal problems and absences in the attack line that do not help solve these setbacks. Gerard Moreno will remain the main absence while another international, the young Yeremy Pino, aims to be out of the eleven after not being totally recovered from injury that prevented him from traveling with the national team. We will have to wait until international matches do not take their toll on footballers like Danjuma or Dia, who could accompany Paco Alcacer in the yellow vanguard. At 8 points from the Champions League places, the tile makers cannot afford too many stumbles in this stretch of the championship if they want to cut that distance.
