Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Saturday’s football game at Estadio Ciutat de Valencia pits together Levante and Villarreal, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Los Levantinos are stuck at the bottom with only 19 points in their pocket, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for them. Gonzalo Melero is back from suspension, while all Roberto Soldado, Daniel Gomez, Jorge de Frutos, and Carlos Clerc have been struggling with injuries of late.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Cadiz. Villarreal are three points behind the Conference League berth, and seeing that Dani Parejo and Co. will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Alberto Moreno misses the match with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Coke):
Coke began his professional career at Rayo Vallecano, playing 180 games for the capital club between 2005 and 2011. The pacey full back joined Sevilla in June, 2011 and he made a right decision when he moved to the fellow La Liga side.
The Spanish footballer, who is capable of playing as both full back and a winger, won three UEFA Europa League trophies with los Sevillanos (2014, 2015, 2016) and he made it to the Spanish Cup final in the 2015/2016 season with the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan outfit. Sevilla, though, failed to make life difficult for Barcelona in the title game. After spending five years in Andalusia, Coke signed a three-year contract with Schalke on 31 July, 2016 for a fee of €5 million.
However, before the start of the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign he suffered a serious injury in a warm-up game against Bologna. Speaking of his international career, Coke has one cap for Spain U16, but he has yet to make his debut for the first team.
Highlighted Team (Villarreal):
