Competition: La Liga
Market: Villarreal win
Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport
Looking to make it four La Liga victories on the spin this weekend, Villarreal will welcome Real Valladolid to the Estadio de la Ceramica on Saturday lunchtime.
Starting with the hosts, claiming what was a stunning 3-2 victory away at Real Madrid last weekend, Villarreal are enjoying what has been a real domestic purple patch. While Quique Setien’s men might have come under real scrutiny for their European collapse at the hands of Anderlecht last month, the one-time Barcelona boss has seen his side come roaring back in some style. Likewise, marking their return from the international break on April 2nd with another stellar display as they picked up a 2-0 win at home against Real Sociedad, the Yellow Submarine have won each of their last three La Liga appearances. Heading into the fortnight internal with a 3-0 romp away at Osasuna, fans around the Estadio de la Ceramica will be excited by their side’s recent clinical displays in the final third. Without a single domestic defeat to their name since way back on February 18th, Villarreal are rightfully tipped as a standout pick here.
As for the visitors, while Valladolid might have been last seen eventually playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw at home against Mallorca, that result doesn’t cover what has become an extended rut for the Pucelle. Marking their return from the international break on April 2nd with a woeful display away at Real Madrid as they were hit with a 6-0 hammering, Paulo Pezzolano’s men find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap in 2023. Seen as one of the leading contenders to be hit with an immediate Segunda return this season, the ex-Cruzeiro boss has seen his side fail to win any of their last four La Liga appearances. In fact, along with heading into the fortnight interval with a 3-1 loss at home against Athletic Bilbao, it should also be noted that Valladolid have mustered just a single top-flight win since back on February 5th.
