Villarreal
Due to flooding in Valencia, the team missed the last round but remained in the top 4, although Atletico Madrid overtook them. Osasuna, with 21 points and one more game played, has also closed in. Villarreal has only two defeats this season, coming against Real Madrid (0:2) and Barcelona (1:5). It's worth noting that matches involving Villarreal this season are the second most prolific in terms of goals, with an average of 3.55 goals scored per game.
Defenders Alfonso Pedraza and Juan Foyth will miss the game due to injuries.
- Both teams scored in 12 of the last 13 Valencia side's games in La Liga.
- At least three goals were scored in 8 of the last 11 Villarreal matches in La Liga.
- Two or more goals were scored in the second half in 7 of the last 9 home matches of the club in the championship.
Alaves
The Basque team finally won in the league, defeating Mallorca 1-0 at home. Before this, the team had a five-match losing streak, which caused them to slide down the league table. Also, for the first time in seven matches, Alaves kept a clean sheet in the league. Ahead of the round, Luis Garcia's charges are in 14th place, with just a four-point cushion above the relegation zone.
- No more than three goals were scored in 11 of the last 14 Basque games in La Liga.
- Alaves has a four-match losing streak away in La Liga.
- The club has only one first-half win in their last 13 away matches (7 draws and 5 losses).
Villarreal vs. Alaves: Match Prediction
The Madrid side has been playing quality and entertaining football this season. It's no surprise that the club is in the top four and ready to compete for a Champions League spot. Villarreal hasn't shown such high results at this stage of the championship since the 2016/17 season when they had one more point after 11 matches than they do in the current La Liga. At home, the Valencians are extremely dangerous for any opponent and in their last eight La Liga matches, they have only lost to Barcelona (4 wins and 3 draws).
Alaves has weak away records. In their last 40 away La Liga matches, the Basques have only managed 4 wins (9 draws and 27 losses). It's also worth noting that Villarreal has not lost in the last four head-to-head home matches in the league, with three wins and one draw.
My prediction is a
Villarreal win with odds of 1.6(ru); 1.6(kk); 1.6(by); 1.6(tj).
