Match Preview

The home side are searching for three points to end 2017 with, ahead of our Valencia CF vs Villarreal CF preview and soccer odds, and need to bounce back quickly after a defeat against Eibar last weekend.

Valencia have lost just twice in the Spanish top flight so far this season, with both of those losses coming away from home. Marcelino’s side sit in third place heading into the final fixture of the year and their confidence levels will be very high indeed.

Our Valencia CF vs Villarreal CF predictions revolve around Los Che’s home form, which makes backing the hosts to take all three points on Saturday in our La Liga tips very tempting.

Villarreal have been struggling slightly of late, with three league defeats prefacing their victory versus Celta Vigo last weekend. They’ve certainly got some weak points at the back that the hosts can exploit.

Valencia CF vs Villarreal CF Prediction and Betting Advice

Marcelino’s side have dropped just two points at home this season, which only came about when table-topping Barcelona came to visit in November. At Mestalla, Valencia can benefit from having a very vocal home crowd and that is an important factor that allows them to dig deep in tough games.

Betfair offer the best value on Valencia taking three points on Saturday, with Villarreal arriving having won just one of their last four league matches. Last week saw them get back on track versus Celta Vigo, but Javi Calleja’s men have struggled to manage games lately and often allow their opponents some chances.

Although Cedric Bakambu will be back after suspension for the away side, Valencia have looked very solid in defence and should soon be able to count upon Ezequiel Garay at centre back once again. Marcelino’s side are always very organised and should be able to snuff out the Yellow Submarine’s offensive efforts.

Simone Zaza has had a fantastic start to the Spanish top-flight season, ahead of our Valencia CF vs Villarreal CF bets. The Italy international missed last weekend’s action due to suspension but returns with plenty of confidence and with fresh legs to boot. Zaza is always very motivated to play in front of the home fans, who have really taken to him well this campaign.

Zaza has 10 goals to his name in 14 LaLiga appearances, and Unibet offer the best odds on the former Juventus striker hitting the back of the net once again on Saturday afternoon. The home side have three strikers that have been firing on all cylinders this season, and Carlos Soler should be available once again to help support them.

Our Valencia CF vs Villarreal CF betting tips suggest that Villarreal will have a very tough time of it this weekend at Mestalla, with Los Che looking as though they are in good shape to continue their excellent home form and exploit any gaps at the back left by the visitors.
