Valencia and Villarreal, separated by four points on the La Liga table, will go head-to-head at the Mestalla on Tuesday in a La Liga clash, with kickoff scheduled for 20:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Valencia ended a five-match winless streak with a 0-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano before the break. Despite ending the game with ten men, they held on for a crucial win, collecting five points out of a possible 15 in their past five matches.
Valencia’s inconsistent form has been a theme of their season, with six wins, five draws, and seven losses at the halfway point. Their average form should keep them safe from relegation, but they will need to start winning consistently, beginning with the upcoming clash against Villarreal.
Villarreal, who topped their Europa League group, have also struggled in La Liga, winning twice, drawing once, and losing twice in their last five matches. They will aim to turn their form around with a strong performance at the Mestalla on Tuesday.
Injury Report
Valencia will be without left-back Jose Gaya and central midfielder Andre Almeida, while Villarreal’s left-winger Yeremy Pino is out with a cruciate ligament injury.
Prediction
Valencia and Villarreal are expected to play to a draw in their La Liga clash on Tuesday, with both teams sharing the points.
