Key Highlights

After going five matches without a win, Valencia finally returned to winning ways with a 0-1 win away to Rayo Vallecano before the break. The eventful match as Valencia held on for the important win with Thierry Correia sent off for them in the 91st minute.

In their last five matches, Valencia have won once, drawn twice, and lost twice matches, collecting five points out of a possible 15. 

This run of form, characterized by inconsistency, has been typical for Valencia this season. Up to the halfway point of the season, they have won six times and drawn five, losing seven. 

The average form is likely to enable them to survive in La Liga and avoid a relegation scrap. However, they need to start winning consistently in La Liga, starting with the home clash against Villarreal.

Villarreal, who topped their Europa League Group F with four wins, one draw, and one loss, have been inconsistent in La Liga, as shown by their lowly position on the table at the halfway point.
