Expert Betting Tips
On the one hand, the field factor plays a vital role in our encounter, as we can see from our head-to-head statistics. On the other hand, Valencia has had a very weak season and barely escaped relegation recently. There's a feeling that they will fight for their place in the top division until the last matchday. On the other hand, Villarreal has a very good second half of the season and is confidently sitting in fifth place, claiming a position in the Champions League competitions as well. However, they will need to do a great job in the closing stages of the La Liga season to get ahead of Real Sociedad. We believe that the home trend will be interrupted, and the visitors will at least not lose next Wednesday, and in our opinion, Villarreal will be able to pick up three points.
