Villarreal vs Valladolid prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 1, 2025
The Spanish La Liga's 22nd round will feature a clash between Villarreal and Valladolid. The match is scheduled for Saturday, February 1st, with kickoff at 16:15 CET. I propose a bet on both the match outcome and total goals.
Match Preview
After a disappointing previous season, where they finished only eighth, Villarreal is looking to improve their results this campaign. Not having to play in European competitions at this stage has been beneficial.
The "Yellow Submarine" currently sits in fifth place but trails Athletic Bilbao, who are ahead, by six points. Securing a Champions League spot will be challenging, but qualifying for European competitions remains a realistic goal.
Valladolid, as usual when playing in La Liga, is focused on avoiding relegation. However, things are not going well for them this season.
Right now, Valladolid concedes the most goals and scores the least in the league. Their struggles are reflected in their current position at the very bottom of the standings.
Match Facts
- Villarreal has scored in all home matches for the past year.
- Valladolid has lost their last four away games.
- Villarreal averages 2.2 goals per game at home, while Valladolid averages 1.2 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Villarreal: Reis, Kiko, Costa, Kambwala, Cardona, Pino, Comesaña, Gueye, Baena, Moreno, Pepe.
- Valladolid: Hein, Rosa, Torres, Sánchez, Pérez, Amallah, Ruiz, Anuar, Silla, Sánchez, Marcos André.
Head-to-Head (H2H)
Since 2002, Villarreal and Valladolid have never drawn when playing at Villarreal's home ground.
Prediction
Bookmakers have little faith in the away team, which is understandable given their position in the table. I agree with this assessment and suggest betting on Villarreal to win and total goals under 4.5.
