Villarreal vs Valencia Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th February 2025

Much more than mere points are at stake when Villarreal clash in a derby with rivals Valencia in LaLiga this coming Saturday at Estadio de la Ceramica.

Villarreal approach round 24 as number 5 in the LaLiga table with 40 points on their account so far. With 23 rounds behind them, Valencia have amassed 22 points, placing them as number 18 in the standings.

Entering the match as a favourite, Villarreal will be highly motivated to extend their unbeaten streak that they currently have in this LaLiga campaign. They should be in with a decent chance of adding another win to their account. The visitors will undoubtfully make their life as unpleasant as possible, however, they will have it very difficult considering the current form of the hosts.

Villarreal show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.1 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 21 goals, whilst they allowed 13 goals against, for an average of 1.3 per outing. They pulled off one clean sheets.

Valencia scored 11 goals, conceded 16 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
