Match preview: Valencia vs Villarreal

Odds: 1/4 : 0

Total goals: 2.5

Valencia will host Villarreal at Mestalla early Sunday morning in the 10th round of La Liga 2025/26. Villarreal currently rank 3rd with 17 points from 9 games, while Valencia sit 14th with 9 points. This local derby promises to be thrilling between two teams with opposite forms.

Valencia, led by coach Carlos Corberan, are struggling with 2 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 14. Their 0-0 draw against Alaves last round ended a two-match losing streak, but the prior 1-2 loss to Real Oviedo highlighted inconsistency. Hugo Duro and Arnaut Danjuma are key forwards, with 6 goals across all competitions, but Valencia’s defense frequently makes mistakes at critical moments.

Valencia vs Villarreal

Villarreal, under coach Marcelino, have a solid record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, scoring 16 goals and conceding 10. However, they have recently gone four games without a win across all competitions, including a 0-2 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League and a 2-2 draw with Real Betis. Ayoze Perez and Georges Mikautadze are notable attackers, while Dani Parejo brings experience in midfield. Villarreal need to regain sharpness to hold their top 4 spot.

In their last 5 encounters, Villarreal have 2 wins and 3 draws, with the latest ending 1-1 in February 2025. Based on current form (Valencia scored 5 goals, Villarreal 6 in their last 5 matches across all competitions), Villarreal are slightly favored due to their stronger squad and attacking style.

Valencia are working hard to improve their form, but Villarreal have a stronger squad and more experience. The match is expected to be intense, with Villarreal likely to win by a narrow margin.
