Villarreal are the 4th highest scoring team in the Spanish Primera behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. They have scored 44 goals in 23 games. Villarreal also have the 4th best defensive record in the division having conceded 27 goals in 23 games. Celta Vigo have scored 29 goals in 23 games and conceded 35 so far this season giving them an overall negative goal difference. Ultimately Villarreal should have enough quality and fire power to overcome Celta Vigo with dos Santos (scored 9) and Uche (scored 11) up front. Celta Vigo will be looking to their striker Charles (scored 8) to perform in order to give them a chance of coming out on top this Saturday evening. Celta Vigo also have history on their side having won 8 of the last 17 times these two sides met.
