No shortage of goals?
The visiting “bats” recently flew higher again. Although they are still in a relegation place, they have won three of their last four league games! What betting tip does the betting community have for Villarreal vs Valencia?
The home side are also in stable form. They have not been beaten in four rounds and have only lost once.
In addition, in contrast to their opponents, Villarreal have been performing well since the start of the season and, in fifth place, the hosts are not fighting against relegation, but dreaming of the premier league! For the clash between Villarreal and Valencia, the prediction now includes more than 2.5 goals, as the hosts are convincing offensively at home, but at the same time have the weakest home defense.
Villarreal vs. Valencia AI prediction
BETSiE has also taken a close look at the game and at least discovered a small value in the odds for the guest. The betting base’s artificial intelligence estimates the probability that Valencia will not lose at 41.5 percent.
This value just tops the odds of 2.50 at Bet365, which can be converted into a probability of 40.8 percent. In view of this difference, the Villarreal vs. Valencia AI prediction is for the double chance in favor of the guests.
Villarreal – Statistics & current form
The yellow-and-blues have won three of their last four league games, but the record needs to be put into perspective. The victories of the 2021 Europa League winners were only against teams lower down the table, such as Mallorca and Las Palmas, and in the case of Valladolid, only against the bottom team in La Liga.
Nevertheless, the offensive of the eighth of the previous season can be seen to be on the up. No fewer than twelve goals were scored in the aforementioned review! With the clash between Villarreal and Valencia, odds on more than one goal from the home side are also recommended.
They are offered, among others, by Bet365 and the bookmaker is one of the sports betting providers with a German license! The prediction is backed up by Villarreal’s fundamentally strong home offense. Only Real Madrid pampers its fans across the league with more goals.
BETSiE also expects more than one goal from Villarreal
Our AI also confirms the assessment of a powerful home attack, as it has calculated an expected goals value of 1.93 for the hosts for the encounter with Valencia. However, from the point of view of the “Submarino Amarillo”, the defense is a shortcoming in home matches. No other team concedes more goals on their own turf than Marcelino’s team!
Villarreal vs Valencia betting odds on a two-sided goal celebration are therefore equally suitable and you can find them at NEO.bet.
The prognosis is also supported by a look at the statistics of the pairing from the recent past. Only one of the last five encounters was not associated with goals on both sides.
Predicted Villarreal line-up:
The “Bats” travel with the second-weakest away offense: after eleven away games, the “Ches” have scored only a meager six goals. Only Espanyol Barcelona has a similarly low number of own goals at home.
However, coach Carlos Corberán’s offense has improved recently. The six-time Spanish champions have scored half of their six away goals in the past three rounds. The return of Hugo Duro is also encouraging from the visitors’ point of view in this context.
Valencia’s top scorer in La Liga was absent from the penultimate Copa del Rey tie against Barcelona due to injury, but returned to the squad for the 2-0 win over Leganes on the last matchday. With seven goals in 20 league games, he has so far confirmed his strong pre-season performance, when he delivered a double-digit goal tally (13) for the first time in the top flight of Spanish football.
Valencia have room for improvement in defense
As with the upcoming opponent, however, defense continues to be an ongoing project. Although the most recent victory against Leganes was recorded with a clean sheet, Valencia concede more than two goals on average away from home (2.09).
In particular, the last two encounters against Barcelona were disastrous from a defensive point of view. Barca recorded a 7-1 and 5-0 victory in the league and the Copa del Rey quarter-finals within a few days!
Expected line-up Valencia:
Villarreal – Valencia Head to head/H2H record
Villarreal haven’t lost to Valencia in their last two meetings (1-1-0). Furthermore, the more recent home record of the hosts against the “bats” is very strong. Villarreal have not lost in seven home league games and have only failed to win on one occasion. For the upcoming edition of Villarreal against Valencia, the odds once again clearly assign the role of favorites to the home side.
Villarreal – Valencia Tip
An average of 4.1 goals are scored in the home games of the two-time winners of the UEFA Intertoto Cup! This represents the highest value in the home ranking of the Spanish top flight and in the upcoming duel between Villarreal and Valencia, the forecast aims for at least more than two goals.
A limit that has only not been exceeded in two of Villarreal’s 11 home games this season. The flood of goals is due, among other things, to a strong offensive by the home side. Ayoze Perez, the home side’s top scorer, is also available again after recovering from injury.
The Spaniard has also recovered well from his injury, scoring again in his first two games as part of the starting eleven after the comeback. The Villarreal v Valencia tip is also based on the fact that the guests have recently improved in offense away from home, but at the same time have remained vulnerable in defense. Valencia has only one clean sheet after 11 away league games.
