In the previous one, the “Yellow Submarine” part slightly as favorite due to the field factor and especially because it has better players than its rival. For that reason and even if he still does not win at the Madrigal, we believe that the simple triumph of the place is interesting to bet. At stake is cutting this slump and adding important points to climb positions in the general table. Remember that the “blues” are combative although somewhat irregular in defense, standing out for having problems when defending.
Villarreal:
The present of the “Yellow Submarine” is not very good to say, after losing 2-1 to Alavés over the end and stay with 9 points in the general table (2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses). These days, it is close to the direct descent, its objective being to be more regular in terms of results. He has added 4 matches without winning, product of 1 draw and 3 losses. He has scored 8 goals and has given 10 on his fence, missing midfield effectiveness forward.
As a local in the Madrigal, Villarreal has added negative results so far, demonstrating it by not winning a game so far (2 draws and 3 falls). Comes to lose 1-2 with Real Sociedad, to fall 0-1 with Girona, to equal 0-0 with Valencia, to lose 0-1 with Valladolid and to draw 1-1 against Atlético de Madrid. For the Europa League, he drew 2-2 against the Rangers of Scotland and collided with Austria’s Rapid Vienna 10 days ago (5-0). If we analyze these results, we can conclude that the team is having problems facing the goal. And not only that, as it also marks badly at times, demonstrating it by giving up a goal at least in 4 of its 5 presentations at home.
Levante:
The “Blues” arrive toned to this duel after beating Leganes 2-0 at home and totaling 16 units in total. They have managed to win 4 consecutive games, which have allowed them to climb positions in the competition and be one step away from European competitions. Thanks to this good run of results, they left behind a negative streak in which they conceded many goals against. At the moment they are a complicated set to overcome, despite having problems to score and to make defensive transitions.
As a visitor, Levante has registered different scores, showing a better performance in this condition than the one exhibited in its own stadium. Just review the results you have achieved to support this claim (3 wins and 2 losses). Comes to beat 0-3 Betis on the opening date, to lose 1-0 with Espanyol, to fall 2-1 with Valladolid, to beat Getafe 0-1 and to beat amazingly 1-2 to Real Madrid in the same Santiago Bernabéu. Apparently, the team competes far from their stadium, standing out to group more men in defense. Therefore, he has not received as many goals as he has at home.
In the last 4 and a half years, Villarreal and Levante have met four times in the Madrigal. These were the results of those matches: Victory 1-0 of Villarreal in April 2014, win 1-0 of Villarreal in January 2015, victory 3-0 of Villarreal in February 2016 and win 2-1 of Villarreal in January 2018. Apparently, the “Yellow Submarine” has a paternity over its rival, and it is feasible to extend it in this opportunity.
PREDICTION: Villarreal to win @ 1.57
