We predict Villarreal 1-1 Valencia. Both teams look even, with two draws in their last five La Liga matches. Villarreal won three of their last five league matches, while Valencia won two, but it is looking more likely that the points will be shared as the Yellow Submarines may not cope with Valencia’s energy due to their involvement in the Europa League on Thursday.
There’s a chance that both Villarreal and Valencia will score at least one goal each. Both teams scored in eight of Villarreal’s last ten matches, while both teams scored in five of Valencia’s last ten matches.
Villarreal crashed out of the Europa League despite their 3-1 home win over Marseille in the second leg, thanks to Marseille’s 4-0 win in France in the first leg. The Yellow Submarines will focus on finishing in the top half of the table following their elimination from the Europa League, and their quest starts this weekend against Valencia.
Valencia have struggled to maintain consistency in the last few weeks, but they only lost one of their last five league matches. They currently occupy the 8th position with 40 points and are three points outside the top six, which is obviously their target, as the top four is way out of their reach.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Villarreal: Reina, Moreno, Bailly, Albiol, Mosquera, Baena, Comesana, Coquelin, Akhomach, Moreno
