Villarreal take on the visitors Valencia in the round 33 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 19th at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).
Villarreal know the position where it will finish in this rally. It is extremely unlikely that now it will be possible to rise above 7th place, which was also in the last season - Unai Emery's debut at this place. Athletic can catch up, but they are also not in best shape. Real Sociedad, which occupies the 6th position, are ahead by 6 points. It is difficult to believe that such a backlog will have time to compensate for the remaining 6 meetings. At the same time, history is being rewritten in eurocups. Not only did the Spaniards finished in top-2 of the group, but they also knocked out two giants, Juventus and Bayern, in the playoffs. This secured access to the first semi-final in history, and on April 27 there will be a game with Liverpool.

The Bats made it to the final of the Copa del Rey. And there will be a game with Betis for the trophy at the weekend - and, of course, Valencia want to approach that meeting in optimal condition and with the most combat-ready squad. It is clear that in such conditions, Pepe Bordalas and his wards are not particularly interested in what is happening in La Liga. Recently, from the end of winter and in March, there was a successful period, with 3 victories in 4 rounds. But in April, it is clearly difficult for Los Chess to find motivation in Example. At first there were draws, zero with Cadiz and 1-1 in Madrid with Rayo Vallecano, and on April 16 at the Mestalla there was a defeat of Osasuna.
An important factor in recent times has become the location of the game. In the last 6 matches in La Liga, the team that hosted the opponent at home won. Villarreal still don't have Alberto Moreno. Valencia will definitely not have Gabriel Paulista and possibly Maxi Gomez. Bookmakers believe that the trend will continue.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win with -1.0 handicap.
