As usual, Villarreal play an important role in the Spanish LaLiga. With 10 gameweeks behind, the club settles on the sixth position in the elite division table with 17 points taken and 16-11 goal difference. In regards to the UEFA Europa League, “El Submarino Amarillo” picked up five points in three clashes played, being the favourite in the promotion battle to the Play Offs. However, the Spaniards show poor performance on the road, having gained two triumphs, two draws and four losses in eight away battles of the season.
Slavia Prague have been 2:0 ahead in the reverse fixture on the road, but lost that victory and got 2:2 draw against Villarreal. Taking into consideration the Czechs’ strong performance at the home turf together with the Spaniards’ disappointing results at away grounds as well as the hosts’ possible reserve squad in the forthcoming fight, I believe that the Czech champion has to earn points on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: Slavia Prague to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
