Expected lineups: only Villarreal have a few absentees but none of them is crucial by any means. Jackson's transfer to Bournemouth got cancelled because of failed medical.

Both teams have been very likable recently, but to be more interested in Vallecano away I would like to see De Tomas fully fit and starting and that is not yet the case.

Villarreal are 5th in the table, they have played a good season but there is quality-wise a gap to the top-4, although since appointing Setien their performances have significantly improved, and more importantly they have been 2nd best home team so far this season only bettered by Barcelona, and narrowly!

Since returning from the break they have played 4 games:

With good results, only in Vigo they were outplayed but the other 3 have been brilliant performances with a lot of created goal chances.

They also were all at home. In the right wing Chukwueze has proved to be a top dribbler in the league,and with Parejo and Moreno among others there is a lot of finishing skill in the team, and the defense is solid.

Vallecano are 9th in the overall table and surprisingly 6th as the away team as they have been traditionally strong at home.

Recently there has been a drop in the results:

What is worth noticing is that they suffer vs the better teams, but seem to win the right games. Yet there is a big difference in class compared to the top-6, even if there are a few surprise wins over both Barcelona and Real Madrid! Isi Palazon has been essential for them this season, Trejo is top form in the midfield as well, and the keeper Dimitrievski has won them a lot of points.

Villarreal have not won by this handicap for a long time, but looking at the xG-data it is long overdue, and I like to take the tasty odds offered!

预期的阵容:只有比利亚雷亚尔有几名球员缺席，但他们都不是关键球员。由于体检不合格，杰克逊转会伯恩茅斯的计划被取消。

最近两支球队都很受欢迎，但是为了对巴列卡诺更感兴趣，我希望看到德托马斯完全康复并首发，但现在还没有。

比利亚雷亚尔在积分榜上排名第五，他们本赛季踢得不错，但在质量上与前四名有差距，尽管自从任命了塞蒂恩之后，他们的表现有了显著的提高，更重要的是，他们是本赛季迄今为止第二好的主场球队，只被巴塞罗那稍稍超越!

休息回来后，他们打了4场比赛:

他们取得了不错的成绩，只有在维戈，他们被击败了，但其他三支球队都表现出色，创造了很多进球机会。

他们也都在家。在右翼，楚克武泽已经被证明是联赛中顶级的盘带球员，加上帕雷霍和莫雷诺等人，球队有很多射门技巧，防守也很稳固。

巴列卡诺在积分榜上排名第9，令人惊讶的是，他们作为客场球队排名第6，因为他们一直在主场很强。

最近成绩有所下降:

值得注意的是，他们在对阵更好的球队时表现不佳，但似乎赢得了正确的比赛。然而，与前6名相比，他们的级别有很大的不同，即使他们在巴塞罗那和皇家马德里都有一些令人惊讶的胜利!伊西·帕拉松本赛季对他们来说是必不可少的，特雷霍在中场也处于最佳状态，守门员迪米特里耶夫斯基为他们赢得了很多积分。

比利亚雷亚尔已经很长一段时间没有赢过比赛了，但是从xg的数据来看，这已经是姗姗姗迟的事情了，我想接受这个诱人的赔率!
