Valencia will look to climb away from the bottom end of the LaLiga table when they host regional rivals Villarreal on Saturday. The hosts have made a poor start to the campaign, collecting just six points from their opening nine matches and consequently sitting in the relegation zone. Villarreal are 12th with nine points, although their performances have generally been stronger than their league position suggests.

Villarreal have dominated the recent meetings. They won the last two LaLiga encounters, including a 2-1 victory at home in February 2026 and a 2-0 success at Mestalla in October 2025.
Valencia team overview
Valencia have taken only one win from their opening nine league matches, alongside three draws and five defeats. Their most recent two fixtures produced draws against Racing Santander (2-2) and Athletic Club (0-0), suggesting some improvement in defensive stability under Javier Aguirre.
However, their attacking numbers remain a major concern. Valencia have scored only six goals this season, the second-lowest total in LaLiga, while their average of 0.7 goals per game is among the league's worst. None of Valencia's attacking players have managed to score more than once in the early stages of the season, with five of them contributing one goal each.
Umar Sadiq, Diego López and Sergi Canós remain unavailable, while José Copete and Dimitri Foulquier have been recovering from injuries.

Villarreal team overview
Villarreal have also won only two LaLiga matches so far this season, defeating Malaga and Levante by the exact scoreline of 3-1, but their attacking numbers are encouraging, with 13 goals scored in nine league fixtures.
However, those back-to-back wins came before a three-week international break, and Villarreal are yet to win a league game since returning to club football. They also suffered a devastating 4-3 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday, despite leading 2-0 in the first half.
Tajon Buchanan and Nicolas Pépé are the main fitness concerns.

Prediction
Valencia's lack of attacking consistency makes BTTS (NO) an appealing option. They have scored just six goals in nine LaLiga matches and have failed to find the net in five of those fixtures. Villarreal, meanwhile, have scored 13 goals but could be affected by fatigue after Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Liverpool. With Valencia struggling to convert chances and Villarreal potentially lacking freshness, this could be a game where at least one side fails to score.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (NO).
Three reasons we expect BTTS (NO)
- Valencia have failed to find the net in five of their first nine league fixtures.
- More worryingly, they have not scored in four of their last five home league matches.
- BTTS (NO) has also landed in Villarreal's last two league matches.
