Spain – La Liga | Valencia VS Villarreal; Wednesday, 03 January at 04:30 GMT +8

Valencia, a renowned Spanish league champion, has been a mediocre team in recent years, with 23 points in 18 matches. They won only two of their last seven matches, including a 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano. However, they managed to secure all three points in a dull match. Valencia could gain momentum if they perform well against Villarreal.

Villarreal, once a stable La Liga team, has only 19 points this season, putting them six points above the relegation zone. They won only two of their last six matches, with their best match being a 3-2 win against Celta Vigo. If this is a sign of improvement, they will face Valencia on Tuesday.

Valencia’s Javi Guerra is expected to start in the upcoming tie, while Ruben Baraja’s team will be without Javi Gaya, Thierry Correia, Mouctar Diakhaby, and Andre Almeida.

Villarreal faces a lengthy list of unavailable players, including Denis Suarez, Yeremi Pino, Francis Coquelin, Juan Foyth, Mattia Gabbia, and Gerard Moreno, as well as Alejandra Baena and Santi Comesana, who received their fifth yellow card in the season, serving suspensions against Valencia.
