Our prediction – both to score
Villarreal will be happy with a draw tonight - they already have a two-goal lead and, unless curcumstances force them, they won't push too hard. On the weekend, Villarreal play Getafe, and they will try to save energy for that game. The hosts should be able to maintain the handicap of one goal.
