Sheffield Wed vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, the Spanish team starts as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which is not yet set due to the hard pre-season that the squad is making. For this reason and knowing that the two teams are not showing very fine at the time of scoring, we believe that the bet “both teams score” is interesting to bet. Paint to be a duel fought at times and open in others, depending on the physical rest of the players at the time of elaboration. It is not ruled out that the goals come from punctual plays, and can also be achieved through the famous and effective stop ball.
Sheffield Wednesday:
After conducting an irregular campaign in the last Championship, Sheffield Wednesday will seek to improve their numbers and fight for the direct promotion in the 2018-2019 season. In the previous campaign, the team added 57 points and was far from the decline and also the playoffs (14 wins, 15 draws and 17 falls). In terms of goals, scored 59 and gave 60, proving to be an unbalanced eleven when attacking a lot and defending badly. Now the goal of the squad is to maintain its game vertical and direct, but trying to improve the transitions defense-attack and attack-defense. This time it will be local, when playing at Hillsborough Stadium. In this condition, he won 8 games, tied another 7 and lost the remaining 8 that he played (37 goals scored and 31 received, ratifying his irregularity between the lines).
In terms of friendlies, the team has played two so far, achieving these results: On July 21 defeated 1-0 to Dutch Breda and on July 24 lost 2-1 against Mansfield of League Two (fourth English division) . The first match was won 1-0 from the first stage and the second was losing 0-2 partially (discount converted to 73 ‘game). If we try to visualize what the team will do in this presentation, you should know that it will use the 3-4-3 system, which is useful to generate and complicated to defend. Suffice to say that Sheffield almost always recorded the bet “both teams score” as a local in the last Championship to corroborate this claim.
Villarreal:
The “Yellow Submarine” will seek to improve the campaign he made last season, which was extremely positive after placing in the fifth position of the Santander League 2017-2018 (61 points product of 18 wins, 7 draws and 13 falls). In terms of goals, he scored 57 and gave 50, lacking some balance in certain stages of the championship. As a visitor he alternated good and bad results after winning 7 matches, equaling another 4 and losing the remaining 8 that he played in this condition (22 goals scored and 28 assigns in his goal). If we analyze these numbers, we can conclude that the boys of Javi Calleja have what it takes to fight against any opponent. Of course, they need to be more solid in defense, a fact that has also been able to ratify in the preseason games.
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Villarreal has played 3 friendlies in recent weeks, achieving in all the same result (1-1 draw against Hercules, 1-1 draw against Olympique Marseille and 1-1 draw against Montpellier). In the first match, the Spanish draw equaled the first stage 0-0 and the goals came to 3 ‘and 37’ of the second half (Llambrich and Salinas). In the second match, the goals were given at 45 ‘of the first half and at 19’ of the second (Ekambi and Germain). In the third match, the goals fell to 16 ‘of the initial stage and 45’ of the second half (Delort and Ekambi). If reinforcements are involved, the following players have arrived at the club: Gerard Moreno, Santi Cazorla, Caseres, Miguel LayĂșn and the Cameroonian Ekambi.
There are no previous clashes between Englishmen and Spaniards, this being the first they will sustain throughout their history.
