Villarreal vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction: Bookmakers slightly underestimate the home team

Prediction for the La Liga match which will take place on November 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After a pause for national team games, Yellow on their field played a draw with Alaves 1:1, beat 3:2 Granada and 5:0 Chiclana in the Spanish Cup. Before the start of the 12th round of Spanish La Liga, Villarreal was in 12th place in the table and had 12 points, which is six points more than the teams from the relegation zone and six points less than the same Atletico, located in the European Cup competition. The Submariners' home statistics are only 17th in the division, and just because of the poor numbers in home matches this season, bookmakers have made Villarreal the outsiders of the upcoming meeting.

After the international break, Athletic played three official matches: lost to Barça in Barcelona with a score of 0:1, played a draw on their field with Valencia 2:2 and with difficulty, but won against Rubi club on the road in the Spanish Cup. In the La Liga standings, Atletico have a better situation than Villarreal. Before the start of Saturday's pool of the 12th round, the Basques occupy sixth place in the table and have 18 points, conceding to Barça, located in the Champions League competition, six points. The Basques' away statistics are eighth in the division, +2=1-2, 4:4 goal difference.

Despite the weak home statistics of Villarreal in the current season, we are on the side of Yellow in the pair, and we believe that the bookmakers underestimate the hosts of the field because, after the international break, Castellonians have noticeably improved and have not lost once in this period. Villarreal has the same tasks for the season as the Basques, but so far, there are problems with realizing the potential. It is also worth noting that Athletic have not won at Villarreal for the last five seasons. As for the total, we believe that we will not see more than three goals in the upcoming game.
