Villarreal improvement is not very smooth and as they showed wouldn’t be very convincing in their visits. The consistent is one of the biggest differences between the sides and that makes the Yellows’ behavior at home almost unpredictable. They couldn’t cope in the aerial battles against Mallorca and we expect the guests to take some advantage from the corners (after they often score from this kind of set pieces as it was against Lokomotiv Moskva). Villarreal started pretty good in the last match, but in the second half we didn’t see a quality combination on the ground (which is their style), but mostly easily caught crosses.
The busy schedule of the Bilbao’s side has token its victims and their midfield would be wounded. Nilmar (who returns in his squad) and Ruben are that kind of players, who can bring more speed to the hosts’ actions and as we in the Euroap League game the Basques already look tired at times and could admit that counters play.
Tip: Villarreal -0.25 Odds: 2.00 Stake: 6/10
