Prediction

  • Valencia are unbeaten in four home games and could move up to eighth and level on points with Getafe if results go their way in midweek, seeing them move within touching distance Conference and Europa League spots.
  • Villarreal are still recovering under new boss Marcelino after a poor start to the season, and are the first club to make a signing in La Liga in the New Year. Eric Bailly returns to the club following his Besiktas exit.
  • Valencia have looked more clinical the longer Ruben Baraja has had his influence over the players, and have seen out some very mature results this season to cement their solidarity in the league table. They should most likely take the points in this one.
