but the class difference is huge, and Valencia have more than a fair share of injuries:

实力差距不大，但瓦伦西亚的伤病不少

Valencia's new coach for the season, Getafe legend Bordalas have turned them into a more aggressive and violent team which is no wonder. There are several good individuals in the squad like Soler and the optimal lineup would be a good midtable team, but there is no width in material and defensively they are weak.

Both are resultwise in a poor form, but whereas Valencia will probably end up in relegation battle Villarreal have the potential to fight for top-6. Surprisingly the head-to-head favours Valencia strongly, but I am no believer in these stats.

So what has Valencia done lately and what does the xG-data show? Their latest win dates back to September, away to Osasuna. Since then they are without a win 7 games.

瓦伦西亚本赛季的新教练，赫塔菲传奇人物博尔达拉斯将他们变成了一支更具侵略性和暴力的球队，这也不足为奇。队内有几个像索勒这样的好人，整体是一支至少可以排在积分榜中游的队伍，但缺乏深度，防守也很弱。

两队状态都很糟糕，但瓦伦西亚可能会最终落入保级大战，比利亚雷亚尔有可能争夺前六名。令人惊讶的是，交手记录瓦伦西亚更加出色，但我不相信这些统计数据。

那么瓦伦西亚最近做了什么，预期进球数据显示了什么？他们最近的胜利可以追溯到九月份，客场挑战奥萨苏纳。从那以后他们7场比赛都没有赢过。

The performances have not been hopeless, but the expectedly better teams have been ahead, even when Valencia had a stronger lineup than today.Soler has been the sole attacking star and he is a big doubt today, also Cheryshev is badly missed.

Villarreal have failed too, Moreno has been out but otherwise today basically a full squad is available.

表现并非没有希望，但瓦伦西亚的阵容比今天更强大。索勒一直是唯一的进攻明星，今天他出战存疑，切里舍夫也会缺席。

比利亚雷亚尔也失败了，莫雷诺已经缺席，但除此之外，今天基本上有一个完整的阵容。

Conceding 3 goals to weak Cadiz side is strange, but the to be honest losing to in-form Athletic and Osasuna is not a shame. Before that there were 4 good performances, and the class of the team has gone nowhere. Especially destroying Betis was a good sign! Individual errors in the defense explain some of the bad result, especially Mandi has done some miraculously deadly errors and he is not starting today.

The best player - best signing of all league perhaps - Arnaut Danjuma has caused havoc both in La Liga and Europe and has 5 goals to his name. Boylaye Dia is also fit today, and there is speed and skill in Villarreal attack and midfield.

Bordalas has already expressed that he is not happy with his team,and I am not sure he is the right man for the job. Let us see if this game starts something new, I see Villarreal scoring at least twice and they are likely to win.

1-3

面对加的斯队丢 3 个球很奇怪，但老实说，输给状态良好的毕尔巴鄂竞技和奥萨苏纳并不丢人。在此之前有4场出色的表现，尤其是击败贝蒂斯是一个好兆头！防守中的个别失误解释了一些糟糕的结果，曼迪犯了一些奇迹般的致命失误，他今天没有首发。

最好的球员——也许是所有联赛中最好的签约球员——阿尔诺·丹朱马在西甲和欧洲都造成了巨大的威胁，他已经取得了 5 个进球。 Boylaye Dia今天也很健康，比利亚雷亚尔的进攻和中场都有速度和技巧。

博尔达拉斯已经表示他对他的团队不满意，我不确定他是否适合这份工作。让我们看看这场比赛是否有新的开始，我认为比利亚雷亚尔至少打进2球，他们很可能会获胜。

比分参考1-3
