Predicted Result: Villarreal 3 – 0 Valladolid
Match Preview: Firstly, considering their home condition there will be no other choice but a win for the Yellow Submarines. They will definitely go for all the 3 points. So Javier Calleja should opt an attacking tactic. Moreover, he may select the 4-2-3-1 formation for this clash. Iborra, Gomez, Moreno, as well as Cazorla, will be the key for them.
On the contrary, Valladolid should look for a draw in this tough away fixture. So I think they are to play with defensive tactics. Sergio Gonzalez will try to hold on the hosts and may choose a 4-4-2 formation. Guardiola and Ramirez should partner with each other at the front.
Coming to the prediction, firstly, I expect a dominating display from the home side. Moreover, I back their keeper to keep a clean sheet. Finally, my prediction is a big 3-0 victory for the hosts.
