In my opinion Villarreal have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

In overall Villarreal have solid record against Bilbao. They didn't lost in 14 of 21 matches against them.

Villarreal don't have any new absences before today's match, their line up should look exactly the same like in previous round. On the other hand Bilbao have two new big absences - key central midfielder Vesga and key central defender Nunez are unavailable. It's a big blow for the team, both played in last round match.

I don't see Bilbao as a favorite of this match and I don't see them as a better team. They won only 8 of 22 La Liga matches so far. Of course, they are extremely solid at home, but without supporters energy is not the same and home advantage is not that big as was before.

Villarreal had bad streak - 4 matches without a win, but they didn't played bad. In last La Liga match they lost at home against top 6 Betis 1:2. Very close match: expected goals scored for Villa 1.24, for Betis 1.22. In midweek Villarreal played in Europa League on away against Salzburg and they won 2:0. They played on very good level and that should give them a lot of confidence before today's match..

Villarreal is better team with the ball than Bilbao - they have 448 accurate passes per game, Bilbao 325. They are better in defense, they conceded less goals and kept more clean sheets. Villarreal as well is more creative - they created 18 big chances more and they missed 15 big chances more than Bilbao.

Villarreal lost only 3 matches in current season and for me double chance on guests today looks like excellent bet.

我认为比利亚雷亚尔在今天的比赛中至少有拿到1分的机会。

总的来说，比利亚雷亚尔对毕尔巴鄂有不错的战绩。他们在21场比赛中14场保持不败。

比利亚雷亚尔在今天比赛之前没有任何新的缺席，他们的阵容应该和上一轮完全一样。另一方面，毕尔巴鄂有两个新的缺席-关键的中场韦斯加（Vesga）和关键的中后卫努涅斯（Nunez）无法出战。这对球队来说是沉重的打击，两人都参加了上一场比赛。

我不认为毕尔巴鄂是这场比赛的热门，也不认为他们是更好的球队。到目前为止，他们只赢了22场西甲比赛中的8场。当然，他们在主场非常稳定，但没有球迷，主场的优势也没有以前那么大。

比利亚雷亚尔状态不佳-4场比赛未获胜，但他们表现并不差。在上一场西甲比赛中，他们主场1:2输给了排名前6的贝蒂斯。这是非常接近的一场比赛：比利亚雷亚尔的预期进球1.24，贝蒂斯1.22。上周中，比利亚雷亚尔在客场挑战萨尔茨堡的欧联杯，他们以2：0获胜。他们打得非常出色，这应该在今天比赛之前给他们很大的信心。

比利亚雷亚尔比毕尔巴鄂拥有更好的控球能力-他们每场比赛有448次准确传球，毕尔巴鄂是325次。他们在防守上表现更好，失球更少，有更多的零封。比利亚雷亚尔也更有创造力-他们比毕尔巴鄂创造了18次绝佳机会，比赛对手多浪费了15次好机会。

比利亚雷亚尔在本赛季只输了3场比赛，我认为本场比利亚雷亚尔不败似乎是个不错的选择。
