Villarreal vs Valladolid Prediction & Betting tips
The “Yellow Submarine” leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which needs to recover it when it acts in the Madrigal. For this reason and knowing that coach Javi Calleja has good players in attack, we believe that the simple triumph of the place is interesting to bet. Remember that the “blanquivioletas” are combative in their actions, but could end up losing by some punctual play or by some exit error.
Villarreal:
The “Yellow Submarine” arrives toned to this duel after beating 0-3 to Athletic Bilbao in the new San Mamés, reaching to harvest 8 points in the general table (2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in total). The performance of the team has improved in recent weeks, demonstrating it by adding 2 wins and 1 draw in a row. Despite his irregular start in the Santander League, he is still a good-looking and competitive one thanks to the good work of coach Javi Calleja.
As a local in the Madrigal, Villarreal has added negative results so far, after adding 1 point out of 9 possible. It comes from losing 1-2 to Real Sociedad, dropping 0-1 against Girona and drawing 0-0 against Valencia. Before the duel against the squad “che”, the team had accumulated another draw for the Europa League (2-2 against the Scottish Rangers after winning 1-0 the initial stage). Apparently, the boys of Javi Calleja are suffering a lot for the goal, making them too hard to score. Of course, despite these problems, they have the necessary players to reverse this situation.
Valladolid:
The “blanquivioletas” arrive toned to this duel after beating Levante 2-1 at home, managing to recover from a partial 0-1 disadvantage. These days, they have 6 points in the table, this being their first win in the competition. Now his goal is to reaffirm this good moment and try to add in a difficult field to step on. Of course, despite its limitations, it has always managed to stop its rivals. For this duel it is expected that the coach Sergio Gonzalez repeat the 4-1-4-1 system that has been used regularly acting away from José Zorrilla.
As a visitor, Valladolid has played 3 matches so far and has all matched them. It comes to draw 0-0 against Girona in Montilivi, to equal 0-0 against Getafe in Coliseum Alfonso Pérez and to tie 3-3 against Celta after losing 2-0 and 3-1 partially. The best thing about this last parity is that he got it at minute 49 ‘of the second half. If we analyze the performance of the team in this condition, we can conclude that it has been combative and rough between the lines. Therefore, it should not surprise us to fight the games until the end, regardless of whether they have a humble and weak team in comparison with other teams in the competition.
In the last 10 years, Villarreal and Valladolid have met four times in the Madrigal. These were the results of those matches: Triumph 2-0 of Villarreal in April 2008, victory 0-3 of Valladolid in November 2008, triumph 3-1 of Villarreal in November 2009 and victory 2-1 of Villarreal in August 2013. Apparently, the “Yellow Submarine” had a slight paternity over his rival. They will face again after several years due to the decline suffered by the “blanquivioleta” painting.
