Last season, FC Girona were the big surprise team in the Primera Division. A role that many other clubs would like to slip into in 2024/25. Will anyone from Galicia succeed?
I’ll get to the bottom of this question in my Villarreal Celta Vigo betting tip. Two matchdays may not be many, but the performances so far are still very commendable.
That’s why I’m going to tell you why I picked the BTS bet
It may be a snapshot, but it’s probably one that Celta Vigo would like to hang framed on their bed: After two matchdays, they are top of the table!
The 13th-placed team from the previous season, who we actually know from the extended relegation battle, won just ten games in 2023/24, including one in the first 16 rounds! 15 goals were scored in exactly this period, with the only win coming against relegated Almeria
And this is exactly the club that leads the league? That’s right! Celta Vigo celebrated a 2:1 win against Alaves to open the season and followed it up with a 3:1 win against Valencia FC a few days later. Lucky or deserved?
In the first match, the team trailed but Iago Aspas finally scored the winner in the 84th minute. Against Valencia? It was exactly the same at first, with a 0:1 scoreline in the box
This time the game was turned around much earlier, the aforementioned Aspas scored once himself and also provided an assist, not even letting a missed penalty stop him.
So in my eyes, there are two bets lurking here. The first: Celta Vigo don’t score to make it 1-0, but Villarreal do. For this you would get a 1.68 at Oddset and on top of that you can benefit from the Oddset betting bonus
Iago Aspas is also taking center stage. If he nets again on Monday, odds of 4.30 are due at Bet365. Last season, Vigo attracted attention with relatively low-scoring games, which were boring to say the least.
That seems to have changed, at least so far, with more than 2.5 goals twice, with goals on both sides, the neutral fan clearly prefers to watch games of this team at the moment!
Do I have to be a bit of a spoilsport? Celta Vigo have played twice at home so far and are now traveling for the first time. Last season, they only won four away games.
Villarreal are not an opponent to scare, but at the same time they are not one to be particularly fancied. 2:3, 1:3, 0:1, 4:2, 3:1, 3:2, 1:4, 0:5, 2:1, 1:4? The list of these results shows the last few years of matches played in Villarreal
The spectacle is written in capital letters here, and there are plenty of goals. Incidentally, our bookmakers see Villarreal ahead in Monday’s clash, with odds of 1.95 to 3.75.
The yellow submarine recently made a name for itself against Sevilla FC in a real heart-stopping final. It struck in the fifth minute of stoppage time to make it 2:1!
The team scored in minutes two and 90+5, with a lot of idle time in between. The opponent was stronger in almost all statistics, so the familiar bit of luck prevailed.
A round earlier, the clash against Atletico Madrid resulted in a 2-2 draw. Two games, two goals on both sides and more than 2.5 both times? Villarreal definitely have that in common with Celta Vigo.
They have lost two of their last 20 games in the Primera Division, which is definitely something to be proud of. At the same time, however, there have only been two home games since the beginning of February in which the defensive score was zero
How long will Celta Vigo’s great run last? The club from Galicia have started the new season really well and I’ve noticed a relatively attacking approach – just like Villarreal.
Both teams are unbeaten, score very late or after falling behind, but also always concede goals. Fittingly, the direct comparison is quite spectacular, and matches in Villarreal have been very high-scoring for a number of years.
So there are enough reasons to recommend betting on a genuine classic. I therefore believe that the previous series will continue and the following tip will apply!
Celta Vigo and Villarreal meet!
