Villarreal and Valencia face each other at Estadio de la Ceramica in what promises to be a close encounter with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The hosts look to bounce back after an inconsistent run (LLDWL), though the potential return of Georges Mikautadze to the starting XI adds welcome firepower. At home, the Yellow Submarine remain unpredictable, winning 40% of their matches but failing to score in 40% of them. Their games are usually open, averaging 3.20 total goals with 1.60 conceded at La Ceramica, while their defensive frailty is reflected in 0% clean sheets and 1.65 xGA at home.
Valencia, meanwhile, travel with momentum after a 2–0 derby win, though defender Eray Comert is unlikely to feature following a knock. Away from home, Los Che have been strong, winning 60% of their away fixtures and keeping 60% clean sheets, conceding just 1.20 goals per game. Their attack also performs better on the road (1.40 goals scored), and they fail to score in 0% of away matches.
The H2H history is tight (14–13 in Villarreal’s favour), but current form and Valencia’s solid away data suggest a very competitive encounter with both sides capable of creating chances. As BTTS hit in 60% of Villarreal games and 51% of H2H, this betting option should be considered, alongside Valencia or Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday 22 February 2026 at 20:00.
