Espanyol
Two in-form teams face off in this clash, but Villarreal holds a clear advantage in two key areas.
First, their attacking prowess has been on full display, netting 48 goals in 25 games—double Espanyol’s 24 in the same span.
Second, Espanyol’s stark contrast in home and away performances is a major concern. While they’ve secured 20 points at home, their away record is dismal, earning just five points in 12 matches with a poor goal difference of 7:22.
Adding to their challenges, midfielder Milla will be sidelined due to injury, further weakening their squad.
What we say
Villareal to Win - Postponed
Villarreal holds a strong advantage in this matchup, having won four of their last five meetings against Espanyol, with one draw. With just four points separating them from the Europa League spots, they remain firmly in the fight for European qualification. Meanwhile, Espanyol’s dreadful away form further tilts the odds in Villarreal’s favor, making them strong favorites to secure a crucial win and edge closer to the Champions League places next season.
