Betting on Valencia
Although Valencia will enter this new matchday still above the bottom three of the standings, it couldn’t make it three games in a row without losing after a 2-1 defeat in the previous visit to Cadiz, which has brought the team only two points away from the relegation zone.
Nevertheless, Valencia may approach this game with hopes for a happy ending, since it has earned 72.7% (24) of its league points at home this season. Moreover, the team has won the last five official matches against Villarreal at Mestalla.
Valencia is not the most effective team in front of the opponent’s goal, but its home record against Villarreal could give it the confidence to improve its numbers. In fact, it has scored at least two goals in each game of the aforementioned winning streak.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Giorgi Mamardashvili; Dimitri Foulquier, Eray Cömert, Mouctar Diakhaby, Cenk Ozkacar, Toni Lato; Yunus Musah, Nicolas Gonzalez, André Almeida; Edinson Cavani, Samuel Lino.
Betting on Villarreal
Meanwhile, Villarreal seems to have finally bounced back after losing two games in a row. All thanks to its victories in the last two games, with the latest being a 3-1 win against Celta de Vigo last Sunday.
These two wins have propelled Villarreal to the fifth spot in the standings as it enters into matchday 33, just four points behind its nearest pursuer, but also five points away from the last spot that grants access to the next Champions League.
What’s more, Villarreal will rely on its offensive prowess for this match, as it has scored seven goals in the last two games, and is in the midst of an 11-game streak in La Liga, where the team has found the back of the net.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Pepe Reina; Juan Foyth, Aïssa Mandi, Pau Torres, Alberto Moreno; Daniel Parejo, Etienne Capoue; Samuel Chukwueze, Giovani Lo Celso, Yeremi Pino; Nicolas Jackson.
JefeBet Prediction
Valencia has conceded at least one goal in six of the last seven games, which will be good news for a Villarreal side that is on fire in attack, and has scored in six of the last seven matches against it.
However, Villarreal has also been a bit lenient in the recent performances, conceding at least two goals in four of its last five league games.
Both teams need to win no matter what, so they will surely be looking to score from the outset, making for an entertaining match. That’s why, at JefeBet, we believe that both teams will score at least once in the upcoming Valencia vs Villarreal exiting match.
Prediction: Both teams score (VAL 1-2 VIL).
