La Liga: Villarreal vs Celta
Match time: 23-12-21 04:30 Thursday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Sports Warm Winter Creation Season Villarreal's form has not been very stable in recent times, with four wins, four draws and nine losses, and is only ranked 14th in La Liga. Although Villarreal had previously qualified as group winners in the Europa League, and it is understandable that the team should focus more on the Europa League level with little hope of finishing in the league, it is also an indisputable fact that Villarreal's overall competitiveness has declined in the last two seasons. Because the effect of the team's recruitment is far from the expected value, the new players either cannot integrate into the team's offensive and defensive system, or fail to form a tacit understanding with their teammates, for a team like Villarreal that relies on team operations, the impact of poor recruitment is undoubtedly quite serious, if the team wants to regain the previous league competitiveness, I am afraid there is no other better way than to invest more reinforcements. 
It is worth mentioning that Villarreal's recent injury situation in the team has also intensified, Foyth and Gabia's injuries have directly reduced the team's defensive intensity by more than one notch, and the absence of midfielders such as Vega, Dennis and Pino has affected the team's counterattack quality a lot. Perhaps Villarreal will be able to show a stronger ability to steal points after returning from the off-season.
Celta have grabbed a lot of points recently, and currently have a record of two wins, seven draws and eight losses, ranking 18th in the league. Due to the team's defensive ability has improved significantly in recent times, so Celta has also achieved a good record of four unbeaten games, and it is precisely because of this excellent result that the points gap between Celta and Sevilla outside the safety zone has been erased, as long as Celta can successfully snatch three points from Villarreal in this round of the league, then the team is very hopeful to temporarily escape the relegation zone when Christmas is approaching, I believe that Celta will go all out in the last game, Try to be able to give your fans a Christmas gift.
In their last game, Celta Vigo beat Granada 1-0 at home to extend their unbeaten run to a fifth game. Judging from the process of the game, although both teams have greater relegation pressure, but the home team of Celta still showed a stronger desire to win, and the players' defensive enthusiasm is obviously higher than Granada, through continuous side attack attempts, Celta took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field in the 20th minute of the first half, if it were not for the lack of opportunity grasp ability of several strikers, Granada will inevitably suffer a painful defeat in this campaign.
Match Analysis:
In the two meetings last season, Villarreal won one and drew one, and grabbed a lot of points from Celta. In the last ten meetings, Villarreal has won four, drawn two and lost four, and is equal with Celta. Although Villarreal's overall strength is stronger than Celta, but now Villarreal has suffered a more serious injury wave, Celta is a more neat lineup, although the main striker Aspas was sent off with a red card in the last game, but in fact, Dovicas on the bench is not worse than Aspas, perhaps Aspas's ban will improve Celta's offensive ability, considering that both teams can get a long break after this game, It is believed that Celta, who have a more complete squad in this game, should be able to dominate the game and gain valuable three points from Villarreal.
Ligue 1: Lyon vs Nantes
Competition time: 2023-12-21 04:00 Thursday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Lyon's form has picked up slightly in the last two rounds of the league, with three wins, four draws and nine losses, ranking 16th in the league. If someone at the start of the season said that Lyon would be under relegation pressure this season, it might have caused a lot of laughter, after all, Lyon are an established powerhouse in Ligue 1 and have been one of the strong contenders for a Champions League place in previous seasons. However, due to the team's sudden trough some time ago, Lyon is indeed in the relegation zone at this stage, but fortunately, the team's competitive state has recovered in the last two games, and the main striker Lacazette has broken the previous month-long goal drought before, and the team has won Toulouse at home.
Personally, Lyon is indeed a little sick this season, Lacazette's good and bad competitive state, greatly restricting the stability of the team, and different from previous seasons, the performance of several young players in Lyon is also very average, plus the club has not been able to make some high-quality reinforcements after the end of last season, which directly leads to the team It is difficult for the team to compete with other league opponents, considering that the winter window transfer period will be opened soon, perhaps the Lyon senior management will also make some additions in the subsequent winter window, By then, the Ligue 1 powerhouse will probably be able to regain its vitality.
Nantes have been relatively consistent this season, with five wins, three draws and eight defeats, ranking 11th in the league. Although Nantes can only be regarded as a middle and lower team in Ligue 1, the club does not actually set too high goals for the players, and compete for league rankings, Nantes is more concerned about the follow-up upcoming French Cup competition, because Nantes can often achieve excellent results in this event, so the French Cup is also named the "Nantes Cup" by many fans and friends, and the French Cup can bring the team a Europa League place, It is believed that Nantes will inevitably focus more energy on this cup competition.
Match Analysis:
Lyon and Nantes met three times in the league and the French Cup last season, when Lyon drew two and lost one, and they couldn't bargain for Nantes at all. And Lyon also advanced to the semi-finals of the French Cup last season, and Nantes is the culprit who eliminated Lyon, which directly led to Lyon having no European competitions to play this season, although Lyon's overall strength is indeed stronger than Nantes, but Nantes is a team based on defensive counterattack tactics, when facing stronger opponents, Nantes often first based on the defensive end, through the interception and containment of the midfield, and then seek counterattack opportunities after consuming the physical strength of the opposing players, Considering that Lyon's form has clearly recovered in the last two games, it is believed that Lyon should be able to defend their home advantage and snatch the crucial three points from Nantes.
