Valencia take on the visitors Villarreal at “Ground Mestalla Stadium" in the matchday 17 of the Spanish LaLiga. The game will be played on Saturday, December 23rd.
So far Valencia have been leaving only positive impressions in this season. The side has lost just two fights yet, sitting currently on the third position in the elite division table with 34 points taken after 16 encounters conducted. “Los Murcielagos” also show powerful play in attack, having scored 36 goals already. In the latest home clashes Valencia beat Celta Vigo 2:1 and got 1:1 draw against Barcelona.
Last round Villarreal broke their no-win series. The team is recapturing its best shape, currently settling on the sixth place in the LaLiga standings with 24 points gained after 16 battles played. It should be noted that “El Submarino Amarillo” demonstrates quite unpredictable results on the road: the club has lost to Leganes 1:3, defeated Celta Vigo with 1:0 scoreline and deserved 1:1 draw vs. Atletico Madrid.
Valencia have failed two recent head-to-heads against Villarreal played at the home turf. However, “Los Murcielagos” have better chance for a success in the upcoming fight as the side has showed off perfectly well in the clashes conducted in front of its supporters.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win.
