Marcelino's team returns to their home stadium after playing three consecutive away matches. The Yellow Submarine will host a Celta de Vigo side they have defeated in their last four encounters at Vila-real. The previous match between the two teams this season ended in a one-all draw on the third matchday.

The match is scheduled for Sunday, April 26th, at 9:00 PM and can be watched on M+LaLiga.

Villarreal comes into this match against Celta after a one-all draw in Oviedo. The Submarine's first half at the Carlos Tartiere was solid, though without creating many clear scoring opportunities. However, Marcelino's men met the demands of a very intense first half. The same did not happen in the second half, where the Asturian coach himself admitted that Oviedo dominated Villarreal.

This issue of failing to maintain performance after halftime has recurred in other matches, such as against Athletic at San Mamés. Reversing this trend and sustaining intensity throughout the entire match could be key to rediscovering the good form from the first half of the season, which propelled the 'groguets' to the top of the table.

Meanwhile, Celta arrives at the match with a streak of four losses in their last five games. Despite this poor run, they put up a strong fight against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, the LaLiga leader. The Vigo team, which had suffered heavy defeats against Friburg and Oviedo, displayed defensive solidity that complicated the opposing team's offensive prowess.

Claudio Girádez's side comes to La Cerámica after two consecutive away games without scoring, despite being the fifth-highest scoring team in LaLiga on the road with 21 goals. Furthermore, they face the third-least conceded team at home, with only 13 goals allowed by Marcelino's team in Vila-real.
