Villarreal will be looking to get their La Liga campaign back on track after a slow start when they host Almeria, who are also struggling early in the season. Villarreal has had a change in management, with Pacheta taking over from Quique Setien.The Yellow Submarine has managed only one win this season, which came against Mallorca, and they will be eager to build some momentum with the Europa League group stage matches on the horizon. Despite their poor start, Villarreal has the quality to perform better in La Liga. Almeria, on the other hand, has had a tough time as well, securing just one point from their opening four matches. They narrowly avoided relegation last season and seem to be facing another challenging campaign. In their head-to-head history, Villarreal has had the upper hand, and Almeria hasn't beaten them in La Liga since 2010. Given the difference in quality and form, Villarreal should have the edge in this match. While it might be a tight game, especially if both teams are cautious, Villarreal should be able to secure an important victory to kickstart their season. Predicting hosts to use their good strikers and score 2 or 3 goals, while they might concede maximaly 1.

比利亚雷亚尔将在主场迎战阿尔梅里亚的比赛中让他们的西甲之路回到正轨，阿尔梅里亚在赛季初也在苦苦挣扎。比利亚雷亚尔的管理层发生了变化，帕切塔接替了基克·塞蒂安。黄色潜水艇本赛季只取得了一场胜利，那是在对阵马洛卡的比赛中，他们将渴望在即将到来的欧联杯小组赛中建立一些势头。尽管开局不佳，比利亚雷亚尔有能力在西甲表现得更好。另一方面，阿尔梅里亚也经历了一段艰难的时期，他们在前四场比赛中只拿到了一分。他们上赛季勉强保级，现在看来又要面临一个挑战。在他们的交锋历史中，比利亚雷亚尔占据了上风，阿尔梅里亚自2010年以来就没有在西甲击败过他们。考虑到实力和状态的差异，比利亚雷亚尔应该在这场比赛中占据优势。虽然这可能是一场激烈的比赛，特别是如果两支球队都很谨慎的话，比利亚雷亚尔应该能够确保一场重要的胜利来开启他们的赛季。预测东道主将使用他们优秀的前锋，进2到3个球，而他们可能最多丢1个球。
