Villarreal team overview
Villarreal enter the 2025/26 season aiming to replicate last season’s achievement of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. A magnificent run of six consecutive La Liga victories at the end of the previous campaign gave the Yellow Submarine the push they needed to finish fifth in the standings.
In terms of summer transfers and injury news, key players Willy Kambwala and Logan Costa are both sidelined with long-term injuries and will miss the opening game of the new season. Notable departures this summer include Kiko Femenía and Eric Bailly.

Real Oviedo team overview
Real Oviedo return to the top flight of Spanish football after a 25-year absence. Last season, they finished fourth in La Liga 2 but secured promotion by winning the playoffs, and were among the league’s in-form teams over the final couple of months. In fact, they won 11 of their last 20 matches in La Liga 2 and went unbeaten in 80% of those games.
Several key players left Real Oviedo during the summer, including Sebas Moyano, César de la Hoz, and Paulino de la Fuente. One of the notable new arrivals is Salomón Rondón, who will add experience and firepower to the squad.

Prediction
Villarreal head into the 2025/26 La Liga campaign on a wave of positive momentum following their Champions League qualification after finishing fifth in the league last season. The Yellow Submarine avoided defeat in 12 of their last 15 matches across all competitions and finished the previous campaign strongly, winning six games in a row.
Adding to Villarreal’s solid form was their impressive goalscoring record — they ended the 2024/25 season as the third-highest scoring team in the league and netted more than two goals in nearly half of their home matches. In fact, Villarreal’s home games were particularly prolific, with 74% producing over 2.5 total goals. That is exactly our prediction for this Friday.
Three reasons we expect Over 2.5 Goals Total
- Villarreal were the 3rd-highest scoring team at home in La Liga last season (43 goals scored)
- Villarreal scored over 2.5 goals in 43% of their home matches last season, averaging 1.9 goals at Estadio de la Cerámica in general
- There were over 2.5 goals scored in 74% of Villarreal’s home matches last season
