Valencia VillarrealNo absentees
Valencia have one of the division’s shyest attacks, with just six goals in nine La Liga games, and they host a Villarreal side who have won three of the last five meetings, with kick-off at 5.30pm (UK time) on Saturday.
Anthony Eadson’s Valencia vs Villarreal predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a cagey afternoon at Mestalla and leans towards the visitors keeping a struggling home attack quiet.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 9.5 total corners | 17/20 (Paddy Power) | Villarreal force 7.1 corners a game, the over 9.5 line has landed in six of their nine La Liga matches, and five of Valencia’s nine have also gone over. Villarreal tend to dominate the ball, and their games have produced 15, 14 and 16 corners against Elche, Alaves and Racing. Valencia will have to come out at Mestalla at some stage, which should only add to the count. Paddy Power’s 17/20 is the best price for the over. |
| Villarreal to win to nil | 16/5 (BoyleSports) | Valencia have scored just six goals all season and drawn a blank in five of their nine games, so backing them to be shut out again is far from outlandish. Villarreal, for all their own inconsistency, have the quality to nick a goal and hold firm against a toothless home attack. A Villarreal win to nil at 16/5 with BoyleSports looks a generous price, and it is a bet rooted firmly in Valencia’s goal drought rather than any great faith in the visitors’ own consistency. |

How Valencia go into the game
Valencia are down in 19th and desperately short of goals, managing just six in nine games and failing to score in five of them. A single win all season tells its own story.
A goalless home draw with Athletic Club last time out was a fifth blank of the campaign, and breaking down Villarreal will be a tall order on this evidence.
How Villarreal go into the game
Villarreal sit 12th and carry far more of a threat, with 13 goals and a front line featuring Georges Mikautadze and Gerard Moreno. Pape Gueye has chipped in with three from midfield.
They come in off a 4-3 Champions League defeat at Liverpool, after a goalless home draw with Elche in La Liga, and will fancy their chances against one of the division’s tamest attacks, even if their own form has been up and down.
