| On Monday evening, Villarreal accept at home Espanyol. The home team is considered the favorite. A glance at the table shows that both teams are trying to reach the european qualification places. Villarreal is aiming for the Champions League, while Espanyol is targeting the Europa League. Their chances could certainly improve if they manage an away win on Monday. If we look at the head to head games from recent years, Villarreal are the clear favorites. However, the match won't be easy, especially since Villarreal haven't won in five competitive matches in a row. The hosts managed to win only one point in the league recently, and have also lost their last two Champions League matches against Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen. Nevertheless, the bookies considered the hosts as clear avorites this Monday. It will be difficult for the visitors. They've had a solid season overall, but have only managed one point from their last five league games. However, they've picked up points in most of their away matches, so it won't be a walk in the park for Villarreal. |
