Villarreal welcome the visitors Alaves in the Spanish La Liga – Round 26. The match will be held on Saturday, March, 2nd, at the Estadio de la Ceramica (Villareal).
The hosting Villarreal are presently eighteenth in the La Liga standings, which is the relegation zone, but they’ve been demonstrating quite decent performance lately. Over the last five encounters, the team lost twice, to Valencia and Atletico Madrid; they managed to attain a point in the meetings with Espanyol and Valladolid; and they overcame Sevilla, 3:0. Villarreal’s attack is rather good – the ‘Yellow Submarine’ could score in seven of ten latest rounds, while the team’s efforts are often mitigated by the defense that was leaky in seven of ten previous rounds as well. The hosts on the day cannot afford losing more points, as they are in jeopardy of relegating from the league. Moreover, in the first-term clash with Alaves out, the ‘Submarine’ succeeded to net and imposed a tough fight. In our view, Villarreal will also do well in the Saturday match.

The visiting Alaves feature quite a good season – the side presently run sixth in the table, only one point ahead of Real Betis though, so, in no way they can relax now. In five previous La Liga fixtures, Alaves were victors only once, thus, they don’t boast their present form. The team scored in eight of thirteen outings this campaign. However, their defense has been struggling lately – Alaves allowed in six of ten previous matches. In the first-term head-to-head, they were losing with a 0:1 scoreline after the first half-time and managed to pull out the victory only on the ninety-ninth minute. As to us, the guests will net tomorrow, as they are highly motivated; still, it will be a challenge to play ‘to nil’.
Three of the last five sides’ clashes saw both of them score. We have every reason to believe that either team will find the net in the coming encounter; moreover, the odds on the ‘Both teams to score’ are quite good.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
