Villarreal vs Alaves Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the La Liga match which will take place on October 22. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Villarreal

Yellow represents Spain this season in the Europa League, and so far, the game on two fronts is knocking them out of the picture. After nine matches played in the Spanish championship 2023/24, Villarreal has only 8 points with five defeats and only two points away from the relegation zone. Naturally, such results do not suit the club's leaders because the team is tasked with fighting for the European Cup, not preserving a place in the elite. Last time in the Spanish championship, Villarreal won on September 17 against Almeria, and that match was the first after the end of the previous international break.

Alaves

Basques are neighbors of Villarreal in the standings of the Spanish championship. In the asset of the future, guests have the same eight points but a worse goal difference, -6 vs. -4, so a lower place in the championship standings. Alaves also have two wins after nine matches played. However, the last victory was recorded before the September break, i.e., even earlier than Villarreal. After the home win over Valencia, Alaves have two draws and three defeats, with the Basques scoring no goals in the lost matches of this period. On the road, Alaves have the 17th statistic, +0=1-3, 1:5 goal difference.

Expert Betting Tips

Crisis teams meet, so you should hardly expect high performance from such a match. Villarreal is a team of a higher level, and being in the danger zone for Castellonians is more unpleasant than for the Basques, who are accustomed to fighting to keep their place in the elite. At the same time, the start of the last cycle was quite successful for the Yellows because, on September 17, Villarreal managed to beat Almeria on their field. We won't be surprised if this situation is repeated and Villarreal gets a victory over Alaves. This victory may be a dry one.
