LiontipsValladolid vs Villarreal. Prediction (odds 3.15) and bets on the match of the Spanish championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Valladolid will be hoping they have finally got their season going after ending an eight-game winless streak. Paulo Pezzolano’s side would have been bottom of La Liga heading into this round but beat Alaves 3-2 in their final fixture, securing a result that left the relieved coach praising his players for their “ability to turn unfavourable situations around”. The win also took some of the pressure off the boss, although he is still far from out of trouble with the Violet and Whites still in the relegation zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
De la Hoz (injury), Ozancar (muscle injury) and Marcos Andre (calf injury) will be out.
Interesting trends for betting
- In nine of Villarreal 10 La Liga games this season, both teams have scored, a league record.
- Valladolid Selim Amallah, who has scored in back-to-back games, knows how nine of his last 11 goals have been the first or last of the match.
- The hosts could lose for the third time in a row at their home stadium, which has not happened since February 2021
Probable line-up : Ferreira-Rosa, Torres, Boyomo, Comert, Ruiz-Perez, Chuki, Koke-Salla, Ndiaye.
Current form
Villarreal are unlikely to have any trouble in this encounter, with the Yellow Submarine having lost just one of their last seven head-to-head matches, keeping five clean sheets. That will provide some encouragement to the visitors, who faltered either side of the international break, losing 2-0 to Real Madrid before drawing 1-1 at Getafe. Manager Marcelino blamed the referees for his side failing to win the last of those two games, which saw them controversially concede an 87th-minute penalty. He will be hoping that result does not spoil their otherwise strong start to the campaign.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pedraza (injury), Foyth (knee injury), Kambwala (injury), Costa (ankle injury), Moreno (muscle injury) and Suarez (muscle injury) will not be able to take to the pitch.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ayoze Perez has scored four of his six goals this season in injury time, either in the first or second half
- Villarreal enter this round in the top four of La Liga and have won three of their five away games
Estimated composition : Alcoado - Kiko Femenia, Albiol, Bailly, Cardona - Terrats, Comesana, Pareja - Danjuma, Pinot.

1.69Tip and bets
Today we are on the attacking side – both teams have untapped potential, while both opponents are roughly equal in strength and desire to succeed. The chances of a productive game are not very high, but we believe that due to desire and great dedication, maximum tension near the opponents’ goal will give hope for implementation and goals scored. In addition, in nine out of ten Villarreal matches in La Liga this season, both teams have scored goals.
Our prediction is both teams will score and we are betting on it at 1.72
Bet on the outcome
The visitors are the favorites in this game, but there are doubts about their readiness, because there are quite a lot of injured players, which will not allow the coach to put out the optimal lineup. On the side of the "pusela" is the home arena and the support of the stands, which may well ultimately give a result. We believe that it is worth paying attention to the possibility of a peaceful outcome of the confrontation, which could well suit everyone.
The forecast is a draw and we bet on it with odds of 3.70
Bet on corners
Most likely, the teams will try to bring the attacks to a logical conclusion through the center of the field. In addition, the statistics of recent matches prove that there are problems with corners. We believe that today we should not expect serious changes and everything will end with traditional 6-8 corners.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.96
