Our tip: Villarreal – Valencia: 1

15.02.2025 21:00

If derby is said to have no favorite, the familiar cliché doesn’t apply in this case. Villarreal will go into Saturday night’s showpiece from the fifth position, while Valencia are languishing in the relegation zone (18th place).

The home side have taken ten points in LaLiga in the last four rounds (3-1-0), with two matches played in their own stadium being played in perfect fashion (Mallorca 4-0, Valladolid 5-1). Although Valencia have also picked up points in the last two rounds (Celta 2-1, Leganés 2-0), they haven’t won away once this season (0-4-7) and it wasn’t that long ago (26 January) when they suffered a disgraceful 1-7 debacle in Barcelona. With 46 goals scored, Villarreal is the third most productive team in the league after Barcelona and Real, which Valencia – the team with the third worst defensive record – should feel.

What to bet on:

Villarreal have beaten Valencia at their stadium on five previous occasions. This season, they are fighting for the cups (four points behind the places guaranteeing the Champions League), while Valencia are fighting for survival (one point behind the non-relegation places). Number one.

Confidence:

8/10
