LiontipsVillarreal - Espanyol: betting tip (cf 3.40) and bets on the Spanish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Back in December, Villarreal had a downturn in play and results. The Christmas break did not help, rather, the crisis worsened. Taking into account all the tournaments, the submarine cannot win in five matches in a row, and defeats were recorded in four cases. As a result, the team is approaching the upcoming meeting in fourth place, which it is still able to hold due to the powerful first half of the season and taking into account the problems of competitors.
In the last round, Villarreal played Osasuna on the road. In many ways, the game turned out to be equal, the opponents scored two goals each and parted in peace (2:2). Before that, in the Example, Marcelino's team lost 0-2 to Betis and Real Madrid with the same score. It should be noted that since the beginning of the season, the submariners have been playing confidently on their own field, where they won 8 of 11 matches and scored 25 points. For comparison, they scored only 17 points on the road.
Villarreal completely failed in the main stage of the Champions League. We managed to score only one point in eight rounds. As a result, the penultimate 35th place and no chance of a playoff. In the final round, a 0-3 away defeat against Bayer was recorded.
Disqualifications and injuries
They will not play today due to injuries to Cabanes, Costa, Kambwala and Voigt. Gonzalez, Parti, and Perez are questionable. Pedras has too many yellow cards.
Interesting betting trends
- Villarreal has not played a draw in six consecutive home matches in the Primera
- In the previous four matches, Villarreal lost on shots on target.
- There has been no goal exchange in three of Villarreal's previous five matches.
Approximate squad: Junior — Mourinho, Marin, Veiga, Cardona — Pepe, Pareja, Guye, Moleiro — Moreno, Mikautadze.
Current form
Espanyol clearly could not stand the solid pace that it had been since the start of the season. Five rounds without a win in the Example, and in this segment there was only one top opponent, Barcelona (0:2). In the matches against Levante, Girona, Valencia and Alaves, they managed to score only one point in total. Obviously, the parrots are currently in a deep crisis, and it's definitely not worth counting on a place in European competitions with such results.
In the standings, Espanyol is still in sixth place in the European Cup zone, but the gap from Celta from seventh place is only one point. In the last round, the parrots played on their own field against Alaves (1:2). We managed to open the scoring in the 15th minute in that meeting, but later the opponent seized the initiative, scored seven shots on target and deservedly won. The reliability in defense has completely disappeared. In the previous five matches, Manolo Gonzalez's team conceded 10 goals, and this is taking into account the fact that 17 goals had been conceded in 17 rounds before. Obviously, frequent failures in defense cannot be compensated for by attacking, which does not stand out in any outstanding way against the background of many competitors.
Despite all the failures, it is impossible not to mention the success of Espanyol on the road: 15 points scored since the beginning of the season, this is the sixth figure in La Liga. At the same time, in the last two away meetings, the parrots parted in peace with Levante (1:1) and lost to Valencia with a score of 2:3.
Disqualifications and injuries
Puado will miss the meeting due to injuries, Terrats and Romero cannot play today under the terms of the loan.
Interesting betting trends
- In six consecutive matches in the Example, Espanyol conceded
- On the road, Espanyol has not left the field without scoring a goal in seven consecutive matches.
- At least two goals have been scored in the Parrots' previous six La Liga games.
Approximate composition: Dmitrovich — El Hilali, Calero, Cabrera, Salinas — Lozano, de Zarate — Dolan, Edu, Milla — Fernandez.

2.40Tip and bets
We have two teams in front of us that are in serious decline. There is no doubt that both Real Madrid and Espanyol are betting on ending their failures in a head-to-head match. We think the hosts will have a better chance of scoring three points. The submariners are successfully playing with parrots, having won against them in six previous face-to-face meetings in a row. The home field factor is also important for Villarreal, where they have won 8 of 11 matches since the beginning of the season. Espanyol began to make too many defensive mistakes, conceded ten goals in the previous five matches, it is unlikely that with such an away game they will be able to score even one point.
Our prediction is that Villarreal will win by a factor of 1.72
Bet on the total
Espanyol clearly has problems in defense, and you can regularly see at least two goals conceded. At the same time, the parrots are consistently different on their own, they have not left the field without scoring a goal in seven meetings in a row. Villarreal habitually relies on attack in their game and is unlikely to change this tactic. We expect that the opponents will score at least three goals between them today.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.76
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
In home matches, Villarreal relies on attack and is often not limited to a minimal advantage. So, in three of the last four victorious home games in the Example, the Submariners won by a margin of more than one goal. We expect that Marcelino's team will win today with a handicap of two or three goals.
Prediction – Villarreal will win by two or three goals with a coefficient of 3.40
