Plenty of good and bad for these squads this season, occupying positions near the middle of the La Liga table. Here's the Valencia - Villarreal latest:
- Valencia have the most conceded goals in the first half (11) in La Liga
- Villarreal have yet to win a game away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Valencia form and stats
The story so far in the La Liga for Valencia at their home stadium (Estadio de Mestalla) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Villarreal form and stats
The visitors are W0-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga.
There were no winners in Villarreal's previous match, a La Liga home game that ended 3-3 vs Cadiz (placed 17th). Villarreal's last match (vs Cadiz) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 1-3. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Arnaut Danjuma. As you can tell from the result, the match against Cadiz was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Arnaut Danjuma got a match rating of 7.43 in that game. Danjuma scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 8 times.
A 1-2 defeat away at Athletic Club before that.After this away game Villarreal return home for a Champions League game against Young Boys. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Villarreal when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Villarreal as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
