Villarreal take on the visitors Osasuna in the round 9 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, October 17th at Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencia).
Villarreal are still a typical Unai Emery team. This specialist almost always does better in European competitions. So it was at the current place of work, with the "yellow submarine". He won the Europa League in 2021, and in the last cycle he repeated the record in the Champions League, reaching the semi-finals, passing Juventus and Bayern. Now it remains about the same. In the Conference League, the Spaniards are really good. But at the level of LaLiga, even now it is impossible to add clearly. No, the start was really powerful: four times in a row the "submariners" did not concede, and took 10 points out of 12 possible in these rounds. But in the autumn they were thoroughly blown away. Villarreal still conceded few goals, only 1 for the last 4 fights (against "Sevilla", with which they played 1-1). But they completely forgot how to score. As a result, now the ambitious club has 12 points after 8 points - with this it is difficult to count as success.

Osasuna are really good, but they are still unstable. Suffice it to recall how they played the October matches. At first, it was the Pamplonians who were able to stop the victorious pace of Real Madrid. Yes, Karim Benzema did not score from the penalty spot, but in general 1-1 was a fairly natural result, based on the picture of the match. Perhaps, for the sake of such a result with Los Blancos sacrificed too many resources. And after 5 days, the wards of Yagoba Arrasate lost to Valencia at home. Moreover, both on goals and on the “reds”, the visitors won that match 2-1. But in general, the start of the season turned out to be quite good for Osasuna. Half of the meetings were won, 4 out of 8. And 13 points were taken with a positive goal difference, 9-8. All this allows the Reds to stay in 8th position, and more and more people are talking about what chances the team has to finally return to European competition after a very long pause.
Villarreal had a steak of 6 wins in 7 head-to-head matches. But in 2021-2022, Osasuna was able to reverse this statistic, and now they have won 3 head-to-head matches in a row. Bookmakers are confident that Villarreal will win this match. But the visitors this season look at least not much worse. We recommend betting on Osasuna's victory with a handicap of "+1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Osasuna to win with +1.0 handicap.
