Valencia vs Villarreal Prediction

Valencia Form

Valencia claimed two draws in their previous three matches, where they lost 2-3 against Real Sociedad. Afterwards, they recorded a 2-2 draw with Racing Santander, before also drawing 0-0 with Athletic Club. Valencia claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the LaLiga, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored five and conceded ten goals.

Valencia entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

Villarreal Form

In their previous three matches, Villarreal won 3-1 against SSC Napoli, drew 0-0 with Elche before losing 4-3 against Liverpool. Villarreal only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the LaLiga. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by nine goals to seven.

Villarreal had their sights set on the LaLiga title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Form favours Villarreal for the win a little more than prices with the bookmakers suggests. Even playing on home soil, the bookmakers have placed a little too much faith in Valencia, and we aim for the away win.

Villarreal claimed two wins from eight goals scored and four conceded in the previous four encounters with opponents from the bottom six of the LaLiga. This earned them a total of eight points. Valencia have so far been able to win just once after nine LaLiga games played, in stead showing off three draws and five defeats. Villarreal are looking at two wins, three draws and four defeats in the LaLiga.
