📊 Match Insights
Valencia and Villarreal will seek to get back to winning form in La Liga when they face each other on Saturday afternoon.
Valencia comes into this match after a goalless draw against Athletic Bilbao, while Villarreal also played to a scoreless stalemate with Elche in their previous outing.
The start of the 2026-27 season has been challenging for Valencia, who currently sit 19th in the La Liga standings with only six points from nine matches. They have managed just one win, three draws, and five losses, earning two points from their last three games, including draws against Racing de Santander and Athletic.
Valencia's solitary victory this season was against Alaves in mid-September, and head coach Javier Aguirre is still searching for his first win since taking charge.
Historically, Valencia has struggled against Villarreal, having not won against them since January 2024. The Yellow Submarine has remained unbeaten in their last five encounters.
Last season, Valencia lost both league matches to Villarreal, falling 2-0 at Mestalla in October 2025 and 2-1 in the return fixture in February of this year.
Villarreal heads into this match following a narrow 4-3 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, where they initially led 2-0 at Anfield before ultimately losing.
In their latest league match, Villarreal drew 0-0 with Elche, which came after a 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in their first game post the September/October international break.
