Valencia can still climb a place or drop a place in the table depending on their result on Sunday, while Villarreal will want to avoid falling two spots in LaLiga on the last day of the competition.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Valencia vs Villarreal preview, the 12th placed home side have won two and lost two of their last four LaLiga fixtures and last week’s win at Espanyol was Valencia’s first clean sheet in five. Valencia have only failed to score in two of their last eleven outings.

  • Valencia 2-3 Real Sociedad
  • Real Madrid 2-1 Valencia
  • Valencia 4-1 Osasuna
  • Espanyol 0-1 Valencia

5th places Villarreal have enjoyed a productive season in LaLiga, but they will be all too aware that a defeat at the Mestalla on Sunday could see them dramatically lose out on European football on the final day of the league season. The away side failed to win their last two LaLiga games, adding to the pressure of their final fixtures. With some much riding on the game, our Valencia vs Villarreal predictions must take into account the huge importance of the occasion.

Only one side in LaLiga’s top ten has scored fewer away goals than Villarreal this season, though to counter that, it must be noted that only Atletico Madrid have conceded fewer goals on the road than Fran Escribá’s side.

  • Atletico Madrid 0-1 Villarreal
  • Villarreal 3-1 Sporting Gijon
  • Barcelona 4-1 Villarreal
  • Villarreal 0-0 Deportivo La Coruna

Valencia vs Villarreal Prediction and Betting Advice

When the sides met in the reverse LaLiga fixture at the end of January, Valencia recorded a shock 2-0 win at the Estadio de la Cerámica, a result that does impact our OddsDigger Valencia vs Villarreal tips slightly. There is much more riding on the game for the away side and while that should give them extra impetus, it could also bring with it much more pressure.

The bookies make Villarreal slight favourites for this one and the away side have only lost five from eighteen away trips this season. Valencia have only lost once in nine at the Mestalla however and I fancy them to take a point on Sunday.
