We have a full round of fixtures to look forward to in the Spanish topflight this week including the meeting between Villarreal and Valencia at Estadio de la Cerámica.
The hosts begin the week in 7th place on 49 points while the visitors are in 10th place on 42 points.
Villarreal come into the match having beat Getafe 2-1 away on the weekend. The Yellow Submarine were 2-0 up after only 16 minutes and despite conceding a goal in the second half they held on to take maximum points. That result means Villarreal are undefeated in their 4 most recent games in all competitions.
There have been victories over Bayern Munich at home in the Champions League and Getafe away in La Liga. Sandwiched between those wins were two draws, one at home against Athletic Club and the other away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the latter of which was an excellent result.
Trends show Villarreal are difficult to beat when playing at home and they have remained undefeated in their last 11 fixtures in all competitions at Estadio de la Cerámica.
They are undefeated in their last 9 home La Liga games, winning 6 of those matches.
Villarreal have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 3 of their last 4 home La Liga games. Villarreal have found the back of the net at least once in 14 of their 15 most recent league fixtures on home soil.
Valencia make the trip to the Estadio de la Cerámica on the back of a 2-1 loss at home against Osasuna on the weekend.
With the score 0-0 at half-time, Osasuna opened the scoring early in the second half and added a second with 16 minutes left on the clock. Valencia got one back in the latter stages but could not force an equaliser.
That loss was the first defeat in 8 matches for Valencia. They had previously won 4 of those 8 games, with 3 of the wins coming in La Liga and 1 in the Copa Del Rey.
Form in La Liga shows Valencia have won only 1 of their last 5 fixtures, although they are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 league games.
Valencia are undefeated in their 4 most recent away La Liga matches, winning 2 and drawing 2. Valencia have seen under 2.5 goals in each of their last 4 away league games.
Team news and Villarreal continue without injured defender Alberto Moreno, who has a hamstring injury.
Valencia also have just the one injury problem and Yunus Musah will miss out due to a groin injury.
Both teams have got important cup matches on the horizon and it will be interesting to see if that has an impact on this game.
However, we expect to see a closely fought match, with under 2.5 goals scored. It would not be a surprise to see this one end level, with 1-1 a potential correct score.
