Why Staking High on Single Bets Increases Your Chances of Winning

3y ago

Enduring a tumultuous campaign, Valencia are currently languishing in the bottom-half of the standings, having amassed a paltry 27 points from 25 games. Having admitted defeat last time out, they will be hoping to return to winning ways in this contest.

Meanwhile, Villarreal are enjoying a pretty decent campaign, and even charging for continental qualification. But without victory in their previous seven matches, Emery’s men will be looking to get the better of the Bats to restore some much-needed confidence in their camp.

Valencia vs Villarreal Team News

After finishing in the top-half of the standings last term, Valencia are hoping to do one better this time around – perhaps clinching European qualification come season-end. But unfortunately, things aren’t quite plain-sailing for these lot.

Dropping vacillating performances with every game-week, Valencia have failed to stamp their dominance in the league. They have picked up maximum points in only two of their previous five matches.

This shows how inconsistent Los Murcielagos have been this term – a worrying run that has seen them plummet down to 14^th-place on the log. That said, the Bats have actually been brilliant in front of goal, notching up 30 goals so far.

Down the other end of the pitch, Valencia have been overly complacent, conceding 35 strikes. On the last matchday, Garcia’s men were dealt a huge blow in Madrid, succumbing to a heavy defeat to tricky side, Getafe.

In a game where the referee was called into action far too many times, even giving Valencia’s Diakhaby his marching orders just after the restart, the Bats ceded three unanswered goals on the day. Now, they are itching to bounce back on the winning track.

Villarreal, on the other hand, have struck something of a rough patch in recent weeks, failing to win any of their preceding six league fixtures. However, they will be buzzing after their 4-1 aggregate victory over Salzburg to progress to the last-16 of the Europa League.

Welcoming table-toppers Atletico Madrid to the Estadio de la Ceramica last weekend, an own-goal as well as a beauty of a strike from Joao Felix was enough to send the Yellow Submarines sinking. Expect an enthralling clash in Valencia come kickoff.

Valencia vs Villarreal Predictions

With the top-six threatening to run clear of Villarreal, Garcia will be spurring his boys on to deliver a match-winning performance here. But also, Valencia will be fired up to pick up a win, given their recent horrific record.

An away win seems routine but the Bats are capable of springing one or two surprises in this fixture. At this point, they cannot afford to continue dropping points. As such, our wager will be on both teams scoring no more than two goals in a low-scoring encounter.
