Villarreal Espanyol betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. A home-controlled match is expected, but the Espanyol also has his weapons and can often score outside the box. It should be noted that Villarreal needs to react to the moment they are going in, as the result has been a draw.

Preview
Villarreal and Espanyol face at Estadio de la Cerámica, in a match for the 20th round of the Primera División. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 20‑10‑2019, Villarreal got an away win by (0‑1). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 6 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 03‑02‑2019, in a match for the Primera División, they tied (2‑2). The goals of the match were scored by Vicente Iborra (37' ) and Santi Cazorla (65' ), for Villarreal, and by D. Bonera (75' Autogolo) and R. Rosales (81' ), for Espanyol. Although this is a match between 9th and 20th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 10th best in home matches and the 14th best in away matches.

Analysis Villarreal

The home team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 28 points won, after 8 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Getafe, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Real Sociedad, by (1‑2). This is a team that maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since they have had similar results in both conditions. They come to this match after a away win against Orihuela by (1‑2), after extended time. For the league, Villarreal won 16 points out of 27 possible points, after 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in the last 9 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 9 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Villarreal comes motivated for this match after an away win, by 1-2, against Orihuela, counting for the King's Cup: Gerard Moreno scored twice in the match, allowing his team to move forward in the competition. It is possible that the home team prefer the left side runner to attack, taking advantage of the depth offered by left side defender Xavi Quintillà. Despite being a team that likes to play in their midfield, they are also very easily able to counterattack. Note that in the defensive moment, Villarreal shows to be a very aggressive team, giving little space to the "enemy". The home coach will not be able to count on Bruno for being delivered to the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Asenjo, Albiol, Mario Gaspar, Pau Torres, Alberto Moreno, Santi Cazorla, André Zambo Anguissa, Samuel Chukwueze, Manu Trigueros, Iborra, Carlos Bacca.

Analysis Espanyol

The away team is currently in the 20th position of the league, with 11 points won, after 2 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Leganés, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Barcelona, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 8 points in away matches and 3 at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 22 goals conceded at home, against 5 goals scored and 14 goals conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the Copa del Rey, they got an away win against SS Reyes by (0‑2). In the last 9 away league matches Espanyol has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 losses in the last away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 18 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 8 of their 22 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Espanyol comes motivated for this match, after a 0-2 away win against Reyes, for the Copa del Rey: Calleri and Raúl de Tomás scored the goals of the triumph. The Argentinian Calleri is the intervener responsible for putting the defensive opponent in the direction, and his highest quality is the finishing. Usually coach Abelardo puts his team in a 4-4-2 draw, where the two most advanced players are Darder and Calleri. The foreign coach will not be able to count on Piatti and Corchia for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego López, Dídac Vila, Javi López, Naldo, Bernardo Espinosa, David López, Marc Roca, Darder, Melendo, Jonathan Calleri, Raúl de Tomás.
