Prediction: 3-1
Villarreal
Estadio Jose Zorrilla will host Saturday’s La Liga game between Real Valladolid and Villarreal, who face each other at the start of the season. La Pucela did well to return to the Spanish top flight, and, no doubt, the team’s main goal is to secure the elite division survival. The club chiefs did well to keep hold of top scorer Shon Weissman in the summer, while signing permanent deals with the likes of Escudero, Asenjo, Sanchez, Monchu, and Plata.
Keep in mind, though, that aforementioned forward Weissman misses the season opener with a thigh injury. The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, aim to build on a pre-season win over Inter (4-2), and we predict that they will take advantage of Shon Weissman’s absence. The likes of Alberto Moreno, Manu Trigueros, and Kiko Femenia are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Óscar Plano):

A season later earned him a promotion to Real Madrid’s B setup where in three seasons in total he made 63 league appearances and scored 7 goals. Having become fully aware that a chance to represent one of the biggest clubs in the world might be unachievable, Oscar Plano moved to Alcoron in 2014.
More than a 100 matches in three years at Santo Domingo made him one of the key players for Los Alfareros. The Spanish midfielder made a great contribution with helping Valladolid secure promotion to Spanish top flight in 2017/18 with 44 La Liga 2 appearances and 6 goals.
