Our prediction for this Primera Division match:

Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo

Villarreal

Villarreal

All eyes will be on Estadio de Balaidos when Celta Vigo and Villarreal take on each other in an eagerly-awaited La Liga game. Os Celeste were on the verge of holding Barcelona to a draw at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, but Raphinha’s late goal eventually helped the league leaders pick up all three points from the match. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced attacker Borja Iglesias, who scored a hat-trick against Barca, while duo Carl Starfelt – Jones El Abdellaoui remains in the recovery room.

The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the Champions League berth. Villarreal looked sharp up front in a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad and given Celta’s attacking potential at “Balaidos”, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Defender Sergi Cardona is banned for the visiting team due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.

Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
