Villarreal take on the visitors Valencia in the round 15 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, December 31st at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).
Villarreal changed coach in the middle of autumn. The "Yellow Submarine" in previous years played under the leadership of Unai Emery. As often happened with this mentor before, his wards were good in the international arena. In the new place, this specialist won his "signature" tournament, the Europa League (but for the "submariners" this is the first title in history!), And then they knocked out Juventus and Bayern in the playoffs of the Champions League, repeating the best result, the semi-finals. But at the same time, in the LaLiga, the results were modest, the last draw there ended in 7th place. So Emery wasn't particularly held back when Aston Villa called him. Unai was replaced by Quique Setien, but the first fights with him were not impressive. Let's see what we managed to fix during the pause – they had beaten Guihuelo 2-1 on the road in the Cup.

Valencia again became a hostage to the ideas of its owner. The Bats are owned by Peter Lim, and this eccentric Asian billionaire has long been hated by the entire Mestalla. But he continues to surprise with impulsive decisions. Pepe Bordalas worked here last season, and not without success. With him it was possible to rise to 9th place in the LaLiga and, most importantly, in the Cops del Rey, they lost in the final only in the penalty shootout. But this was not enough for the owner, and he entrusted Los Chess to Gennaro Gattuso. So far, it is difficult to draw conclusions about what happened to the Italian in the first season in a country where he had never worked before. But, at least, this is not a complete failure: 5 wins and losses in 14 matches and a good goal difference. We are waiting what will happen (or not) in the winter.
In 7 matches in a row within LaLiga, these teams strictly record home wins. Both clubs are determined to compete for points. So you can stop at the offer with "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
