Celta possible 11:
Dituro, Galan, Araujo, Aidoo, Vazquez, Mendez, Suárez, Beltrán, Cervi, Aspas and Galhardo
Prediction: Villarreal 2-1 Celta
The loss last week seemed a minor blip for the hosts and we expect them to get back to winning ways here.
The Yellow Submarine have more flair and spunk in their attack and should make Celta suffer.
Celta’s inconsistencies have dropped their form and against a side strong at home, we do not see them gaining much.
Players to watch out for: Danjuma, Parejo, Aspas and Galhardo.
