VAL vs VIL Dream11 Match Prediction

VAL vs VIL Dream11: Valencia will be looking to get back to winning way when they host Villarreal in La Liga at Mestalla Stadium, on Saturday night (IST). Both the teams have endured an inconsistent campaign and a long way behind the target each team must have set for itself at the start of the campaign.

Form:

Valencia: The Los Che come into this game following a pulsating game against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League. Both the teams looked high and dry in defence, always giving a feeling a goal was about to come on either side of the pitch. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, and it’s the English team which left the game with happy faces, as Frank Lampard’s men sit above them in the table, with Valencia’s Champions League destiny not in their own hands.

But the fate of the domestic campaign remains in their own hands. The season is only a shade over one-third old, plenty of time to make amends for the poor start.

That said, the Los Che will have to do better than the two wins they managed in the last six league games, including a 2-1 defeat at Real Betis last weekend.

Villarreal: Villarreal have struggled even more, but most of their problems are recent, as they lost three times in the last four league games. Before that, the Yellow Submarine had only two defeats in the first 10 league games. It’s a good indicator that Villarreal are in a deep quagmire in the immediate scheme of things.

Villarreal’s last game as a 1-3 home defeat against Celta Vigo, a result which followed another disappointing 3-1 defeat at RCD Mallorca.
