Villarreal Athletic: betting tip (cf 2.09) and bets on the Spanish Championship match

Current form

Villarreal came to the start of the season as a clear contender for a ticket to the Champions League – in the summer, Marcelino's team lost several important players, but tried to find a replacement for them. The yellow submarine started more than adequately and by the start of the seventh round it is on the third line in the table with 13 points, lagging behind the leader of Real Madrid by five points. Having beaten Sevilla 2-1 in the last round, Villarreal secured their second victory in a row and their fourth of the season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Cabanes, Costa, Kambwala and Voigt are injured.

Interesting betting trends

Approximate squad: Junior — Mourinho, Veiga, Marin, Cardona — Buchinen, Thomas, Guillet, Solomon — Mikautadze, Pepe.

Current form

Athletic, as well as its current rival, was considered a clear contender for the fourth place before the start of the season and had a sufficiently qualified selection of players to achieve the goal. Having started the championship with three wins in a row, Ernesto Valverde's team seriously slowed down in the last rounds – by drawing 1-1 with Girona, the red and white extended their unbeaten streak in the championship to three matches and ended up on the sixth line in the table, but the gap from Villarreal is only three points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Eguliz and Prados are injured.

Interesting betting trends

• Athletic has not won in the last four matches – three defeats and a draw.
• Athletic have not scored in three of their last four matches.

The approximate line—up: Simon — Areso, Paredes, Vivian, Bercice — Vesga, Galareta - I.Williams, Sunset, Navarro—Berenger.
