Prediction: 1-0
Valladolid
Villarreal will be aiming to build on a 3-0 victory over Athletic Club when they host Real Valladolid at their Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday afternoon. The Yellow Submarine have been raising their form week by week and the victory at San Mames helped them climb to the top half of the La Liga standings. Villarreal look solid at the back and they are eager to keep their fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Spanish top flight against Real Valladolid. La Pucela, on the other hand, did well to share the spoils with the likes of Girona, Getafe and Celta Vigo in previous three away games in the Spanish top flight, but given Villarreal’s recent form, we predict that the newcomers are going to return home empty-handed. In their last meeting at Estadio de la Ceramica the Yellow Submarine defeated La Pucela 2-1.
