Villarreal takes seventh place in LaLiga. The Submarine showed a very good segment, having won in four of the last five matches. The Yellows beat the sixth, fifth and even the third team. Villarreal knocked out two teams representing the lower leagues from the cup. And in the last round, it eliminated Girona (3-0). But the Yellow submarine concedes quite a lot - 29 goals flew into its net. No one else from the top ten conceded more.
Despite the difference in class, it is not easy to predict the team that will advance to the next round. All the same, Rayo Vallecano is an experienced fighter. It also played in LaLiga. And the factor of the home field is very important. In addition to everything, the visitors' defense is full of holes. All this taken together suggests that the hosts will manage to score at least one goal. Villarreal conceded in 18 of the last 25 away matches. In turn, the hosts scored in 15 of the last 16 home games. And they are likely to score this time.
Prediction for the match: Rayo Vallecano to score over 0.5 goals
