Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Deportivo Alaves, Real Valladolid will look to escape the relegation zone when they take on Villarreal on Matchday 11. La Pucela did well to put an end to their three-game losing run at the weekend and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. The good news for the hosts is that defender Lucas Rosa is back from suspension.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, have been producing fine displays under Marcelino this term, with the team sitting in the Champions League berth ahead of Saturday’s clash. Even though Villarreal dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Getafe, away win should be considered this time out as they are more of a team than Valladolid. In their last encounter at “Jose Zorilla” Villarreal defeated Valladolid 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
