Villarreal has noticeably slowed down now, winning only two of the last five matches. However, so far, in terms of the fight for the top 5 and for a ticket to the Champions League, everything is in the hands of the players themselves. At the moment, the team is in sixth position, but if they win today, they will be able to beat Betis from the coveted fifth place. There is a game ahead against a comfortable opponent: in four head–to-head matches in a row, they managed to win against Espanyol, including in the first round match on the road with a score of 2:1. Villarreal failed the previous La Liga match - a 0:3 defeat against Celta. It should be noted that Marcelino's players have the fourth attack in the Example after the recognized leaders Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico - 55 goals scored.

In the last round, Espanyol defeated Valencia on the road (1-1). At the same time, the team rarely pleases its fans during the away season – only three wins in 16 matches played.

Tip and bets

1.72Espanyol with a handicap (+1.5)

Villarreal is playing at home, has a more confident season than their opponent, and has won four previous head-to-head matches in a row. It is not surprising that the hosts today receive the status of an obvious favorite from the bookmakers. However, Espanyol should not be immediately written off, because the team gained momentum after a disastrous start, losing only two of the previous 14 league matches. Even if Villarreal wins today, it is unlikely to do so with an advantage of more than one goal.

Our betting tip is that Espanyol will win with an Asian handicap (+1.5) for a coefficient of 1.72

1.93Both will score

Bet on the total

Villarreal is one of the top 4 best teams in terms of goals scored, relies on attack in their game and is unlikely to be left without their ball at home. At the same time, the defense of the hosts is not famous for reliability, in the last seven matches it was possible to win back only once to zero. Espanyol is on the move now and is able to take advantage of its chances. We believe that there will be an exchange of goals scored in the match.

The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.93

A bet on yellow cards

Villarreal doesn't play too rough on their own field. In six of the last eight face-to-face meetings at home, Villarreal's players have not received more than two warnings.

The betting tip is that Villarreal's total of yellow cards is less than 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.60
