Match Facts:
RC Celta (11th, 35 pts):
- The hosts come into the game on a high, having clinched a 2-1 win over Krasnodar in the first leg of their last-16 tie in the Europa League on Thursday. The next target is to get back on track in LaLiga Santander and secure a first league victory since 19 February.
- Iago Aspas has netted 36% of the club's goals in LaLiga Santander so far this season (14 out of 39), meaning the onus will be on the Spaniard to unlock the Villarreal rearguard.
Villarreal CF (6th, 45 pts):
- Fran Escriba's troops are targeting a third straight victory to follow on from a 4-1 win away to CA Osasuna and a 2-0 success at home to RCD Espanyol. Another three points at Balaidos would strengthen the team's bid to qualify for Europe.
- Villarreal are unbeaten in six games on the road (W3 D3) in LaLiga Santander. If they avoid defeat away to Celta, it would be the club's longest run without tasting defeat away from home since a 10-match streak that ended in November 2008.
