Valencia-Villarreal is a match of the thirty-third day of La Liga and is played on Wednesday at 7:30 pm: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
The points are needed by both Valencia and Villarreal. For different reasons, of course. But the match really puts something important up for grabs. And let’s go and see why.
The hosts are fighting for salvation, the guests to secure a place in the Europa League for next season. And, right now, the team that is really in the most danger is Valencia, which is only two points ahead of Espanyol, which would be relegated at this time. Instead, there are four points that the yellow submarine has ahead of Betis, which is in sixth place in La Liga. A margin, however, that certainly does not let them sleep soundly. A win would be needed to stay calm at least a little longer.
No one expected that, at this point in the season, Valencia would have to fight to stay in Spain’s top league. Yet they do, after a truly terrible season. The hosts come to this match after the very heavy defeat on the field of Cadiz that halted the path of two wins in a row that a little put things back on track. But it is not enough, by any means, to hit the target. It won’t be easy against Villarreal, which, on the other hand, comes to the Mestalla on the strength of two wins in a row that don’t restore Champions hopes – too many points behind Real Sociedad – but that have certainly made one thing clear: the Europa League next year can really be done.

The prediction
A high-tension match. A match that as said could also decide the season of both. Thirsty for points its Valencia and Villarreal and, in a match that should still give one goal per team, a draw in the end could be the most likely outcome.
