Villarreal host Celta Vigo at Estadio de la Ceramica, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Sunday 26 April.

Villarreal played out a 1-1 draw when last in action. This was on the road at Estadio Carlos Tartiere against Real Oviedo. Marcelino Garcia's side recorded three shots on target and had 42% possession, while Nicolas Pepe registered the goal.
Celta Vigo have lost back-to-back La Liga games. On their travels, they recently suffered a 1-0 defeat against Barcelona at Camp Nou. The Galicia outfit had just 39% possession and didn’t record a single shot on goal.
