Villarreal of Spain winger, Samuel Chukwueze has received a strong tip to start this weekend’s Spanish LaLiga fixture against Celta de Vigo, who will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to six matches when they resume the campaign at home on Saturday afternoon, megasportsarena.com gathered.
Chukwueze will have to be at his best to help his side avoid a banana-peel slide, as their opponents are currently just above the relegation zone in 17th spot but will enter this match in better form than a Villarreal side that occupy eighth position in the table.
On the other hand, Chukwueze and The Yellow Submarine currently sit eighth in the table, four points behind seventh-placed Valencia and seven behind sixth-placed Atletico Madrid heading into Saturday’s contest.
A preview of the game by Sportsmole noted that Chukwueze’s side did not finish outside of the top six in La Liga between 2013 and 2018 but ended last season in 14th, and it remains to be seen whether they can claim a European spot this term.
The preview adds: “Javi Calleja’s side have won 11 of their 27 league games – the same number as Atletico – but they have also lost 11 times, including their last three against Atletico, Athletic Bilbao and Leganes.
“Villarreal have actually only one of their last five in Spain’s top flight but a strong run between December 15 and February 2, where they won five of their six matches, has left them in a decent position in the table.
“Samuel Chukwueze was named on the bench against Leganes but should start this one, potentially joining Paco Alcacer and Gerard Moreno as part of a front three. Javi Ontiveros is another option, but Santi Cazorla and Vicente Iborra should both keep their spots.”
