Villarreal vs Almeria Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, the “Yellow Submarine” started slightly as a favorite due to the local factor and above all due to its greater collective and individual hierarchy. For this reason and even when acting with substitutes in this opportunity, we believe that the bet “Villarreal will win the match” is interesting to bet. Remember that the key is not closed after 3-3 of the first leg, it is vital to ensure the classification to avoid a foil. The logic indicates that the visit suffers in the Madrigal, being able to notice here the difference between one category and another.
Villarreal :
The “Yellow Submarine” does not go well to this duel after losing 2-0 against Barcelona at the Nou Camp. With this defeat, he cut a streak of 3 games without winning, product of 2 draws in a row and 1 win. The goal of the team is to get away from the descent, since it is one step away from that dreaded area. On this occasion, the coach Javi Calleja will give minutes to the less usual players, whose mission is to ensure the classification after the 3-3 tie of the first leg.
As a local, Villarreal has reaped negative results in the Santander League and relatively acceptable in the Europa League. It is enough to know that he won 1 match of 7 disputed in the Spanish tournament to corroborate this statement. In the European event, drew 2-2 with the Scottish Rangers and thrashed 5-0 at the Austrian Rapid Vienna. Now his goal is to repeat the offensive efficiency he had against the rivals of other countries, since in the domestic championship he could only beat Betis a few days ago (2-1). Previously he had added 6 games without winning, product of 3 draws and 3 losses.
Almería:
The “rojiblanco” drew 1-1 against Extremadura at home, reaching 20 points in Liga2. He has added 4 matches without winning, product of 1 defeat and 3 equalities in a row. At the moment it is located half board, being far from the playoffs and direct descent. Now the objective of the squad is to fight for the classification until the end, trying to repeat the intensity shown in the game played in the stadium of the Mediterranean Games (tie 3-3). The logic indicates that the holders risk little, being vital that they do not yield an early goal. And then you can score, either with a specific action or by the famous ball stopped (corner or free kick near the area).
As a visitor, Almeria has registered negative scores in Liga2, after adding 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses in total. He has scored 6 goals and has given 11 on his fence, costing him to be balanced in this condition. He comes from losing 1-0 to Córdoba, from equating 1-1 with Albacete, from falling 1-0 with Granada, from tripping 2-0 with Rayo Majadahonda and from leveling 2-2 with Nástic. If we analyze these games, we can affirm that the team always yields a goal at least playing away from the stadium of the Mediterranean Games.
In the last 8 years, Villarreal and Almeria have met 4 times in the Madrigal. These were the results of those matches: Victory 2-0 of Villarreal in January 2011 by the Santander League, 1-0 victory of Villarreal in June 2013 by Liga2, 2-0 victory of Villarreal in January 2014 by the League Santander and victory 2-0 of Villarreal in October 2014 by the Santander League. Apparently, the “Yellow Submarine” has a paternity over his rival, being feasible that it extends once again. Of course, they have not faced each other for a long time due to the long stay of Almeria in the Liga2.
