Villarreal – Valencia, Picks and Tips
Villarreal are the team of the moment in European football, after managing to shock Bayern Munich out of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals (2-1 on aggregate). The Iberians are preparing for the penultimate round of the competition. The second leg of the double-header against Liverpool will take place in a week's time, away from home. In LaLiga, Unai Emery's side beat Getafe 2-1 at the weekend thanks to goals from Gerard Moreno and Manu Trigueros. Previously, the Estadio de la Ceramica side drew 1-1 at home vs Athletic Bilbao. The "Yellow Submarine" is currently out of the European Cup zone in the Primera Division. More precisely, in seventh position, six points behind Real Sociedad.
On the other hand, the 'bats' are winless in their previous three Primera Division rounds. However, the weekend's 1-2 defeat against Osasuna was the first in almost two months for Jose Bordalas' side. They had not been beaten since a 1-4 defeat against Barcelona on 20 February. In April, the Mestalla side drew 0-0 with Cadiz and 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano. After 32 rounds of the Spanish league, Valencia are in mid-table, in 10th position. The gap to the European Cup places is impossible to make up. However, the Villarreal vs Valencia duel will play the Copa del Rey final against Real Betis at the end of the week.
