Valencia vs Villarreal
Thursday, from 22:00, the Europa League final quarter finals will be back, between Valencia and Vallarreal. In the tournament match, Valencia scored 3-1, although in the 90th minute it was only 1-1. The match will be arbitrarily determined by Willie Collum and is extremely attractive.
Valencia: In 2019, on his own land he did not feel the taste of defeat
This season, he did not do well, at least in LaLiga, where, with six stages before the end of the season, he was only sixth with 49 points. The goal of the club’s leadership is to be a Champions League seat and currently stands at three points. The Champions League groups did honorably. He did not catch the second place, but was ranked third and went on his way to the Europa League, where he could play the final with luck. In sixteen of the finals he did not have a very difficult mission. He passed Celtic without problems, after he was forced into both hanks, without receiving a goal. Heavyweight followed in the Kuban Krasnodar duel when it was about to be eliminated. After winning 2-1 on the field, he drew away 1-1, but the equalizer goal was scored in the 90 + 3 minute. Portuguese Goncalo Guedes is the team’s top scorer in the Europa League with three successes.

Villarreal: This season has not lost any matches on foreign ground
Unlike the previous season, the current started very poorly and after 15 stages, Javie was dismissed. In his place was Luis Garcia, but in total only nine games resisted. The club’s leadership made a less-than-expected decision and brought Javier Calleja back to the technical bench. Things have not changed much. Villarreal was only 15th in LaLiga, two points in the relegation zone. Considering the value of the lot, occupying this place is inexplicable. However, in the Europa League he did a great job. He finished first and suffered no defeat. The way to the semifinals was not an easy one. In “sixteen” he struggled with Sporting, but finally he got the qualification. Followed by Zenit St. Petersburg. In Russia it was 3-1, and the fate of the qualification was already solved. The top scorer of the team is Karl Toko Ekambi, eight in LaLiga and three in the Europa League.

Valencia vs Villarreal Picks
Valencia is slightly favorite in this game. He has a two-goal lead but nothing is still played. Villarreal has shown a few times that he is capable of playing at a high level and it is time to do so. I’m expecting a game with goals, which Villarreal does not think will lose.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 3.20
