Valencia vs Villarreal: a low-scoring match

Both teams are in crisis, so they can’t allow losing. Such encounters tend to end with no goals scored at all.

Valencia has been winless for 7 matches in a row. After a successful start to the season, there was no considering such a trend. And while it is okay not to score against Real, but Valencia manages to lose points in matches against the clubs like Cadiz. How is it so? What can a team like this qualify for?

Last round Valencia was thrashed by Betis. Not to say that Betis must be beaten, but they certainly have to be drawn with. Of course, Bordalas now has carte blanche at the club, but sooner or later the management's patience may burst. Valencia can't afford to lose now.

Villarreal scored one point less than Valencia, but Villarreal has one more match to play. In any case, it is clear that the Yellow Submarine has problems. And on all fronts. There is every chance to take fourth place in the Champions League group.

Emery’s team has a winless streak of 3 games in La Liga, two games lost. Last round Villarreal shared the points with Cadiz (just like Valencia), and it seems that this is something close to the bottom. The situation is similar: there is no losing here.

I think there will be very few goals. Bordalas and Emery always shut down when they need to. And now they do. It’s quite possible to see no goals scored. Well, it seems like it.
