After conceding at least one goal in 17 consecutive LaLiga matches against Villarreal between 2016 and 2024, Celta de Vigo kept a clean sheet in their last one (3-0 in April 2025). They have only managed to do so in two consecutive matches against the Yellows in the competition once previously (0-0 in September 2013 and 2-0 in February 2014).

Celta de Vigo have not lost any of their last four LaLiga home matches against Villarreal (W2 D2), winning the last two. They have only once secured three or more consecutive wins at Balaídos against them in the competition, doing so in their first six such meetings (W6 between 1999 and 2006).
