The AI prediction favored a Celta Vigo win, and the actual result aligned with this prediction. The pre-match win probabilities gave Celta Vigo a 38.9% chance of winning, while Villarreal had a 33.4% chance. The AI model didn't expect a balanced game, and Celta Vigo's dominance proved this correct. Celta Vigo's recent form has been inconsistent with two losses and two wins in their last five LALIGA matches. Their next match is against Real Madrid, a challenging fixture considering Real Madrid's strong home form and recent victories, despite a couple of recent Champions League losses. Villarreal's form is also mixed, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five LALIGA games.
Their next game is at home against Espanyol, who have been in decent form lately. Considering the previous head-to-head games, the matches between Celta Vigo and Villarreal have often been high-scoring affairs, but this game deviated from that trend. Celta Vigo's strong performance, particularly in capitalizing on Villarreal's red card, marked a significant improvement from their recent 4-3 loss against Barcelona. Villarreal's inability to create scoring opportunities highlights their offensive struggles in this match compared to their previous games, where they managed to score more goals.
In comparison to Celta Vigo's next rival, Real Madrid, Celta Vigo has lost all of the last 5 head-to-head games. In comparison to Villarreal's next rival, Espanyol, Villarreal has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head games. Celta Vigo's 3-4-3 formation seemed to work effectively, allowing them to control the midfield and create numerous attacking opportunities, while Villarreal's 4-4-2 struggled to cope with Celta Vigo's pressure.

On April 23, 2025, Estadio Abanca-Balaídos will host a LALIGA match between Celta Vigo and Villarreal. According to AI predictions, Celta Vigo is favored to win, despite their recent mixed form. The AI gives Celta Vigo a 38.9% chance of winning, compared to Villarreal's 33.4%, with a 27.7% chance of a draw. Celta Vigo's attack will rely heavily on veteran striker, Iago Aspas, known for his clinical finishing. Meanwhile, Villarreal will look to their young midfielder, Yeremi Pino, to create opportunities. Although Villarreal's overall team rate is slightly higher, Celta Vigo's home advantage might be the deciding factor. Recent head-to-head games have been closely contested, often with high scores.
