Villarreal have only lost one match in their previous seven, a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad. They also drew with Atlético de Madrid (1-1) and currently sit in fifth place, four points behind Athletic Club.
Alejandro Baena’s performances have played a significant role in Villarreal’s success. The midfielder continues to be the squad’s top contributor and playmaker.
He accounts for 68 key passes since the beginning of the season, the second-most prolific player in this category. He also ranks 3rd for most created chances (13). Baena’s high technical level and partnership with Gerard Moreno make him one of the most threatening players in the final third.
Alejandro was also behind Villarreal’s victory against Las Palmas (2-1) last weekend, as most of their chances were a direct result of his involvement. He scored the first goal in the 53rd minute and assisted Ayoze Pérez for the team’s second goal.
Gerard Moreno left the pitch injured against Real Valladolid and is not expected to return before March 30th.
Alfonso Pedraza, Ilias Akhomach, and Kiko will also be sidelined due to injury.
Villarreal predicted lineup vs Valencia (4-4-2): Conde; Cardona, Kaimbwala, Foyth, Femenía; Baena, Gueye, Comesaña, Pino; Barry, Pérez.
Valencia are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Their victory against Leganés (2-0) last weekend allowed the team to jump to 18th place, one point behind Leganés. A triumph against Villarreal, assuming Leganés do not win, would get the visitors out of the relegation zone.
Besides the obvious sporting improvement since coach Corberan arrived, it’s the comeback of Mouctar Diakhaby who’s inspired the side to compete better.
He suffered a serious injury in March 2024, and recent reports claim the club’s medical staff did not expect the player to return this soon. His comeback was emotional, as he burst out in tears – a moving moment for the Mestalla.
The 2-0 victory against Leganés was also crucial, as Valencia suffered two heavy defeats within 10 days against Barcelona (7-1 and 5-0). Although the 5-0 Copa del Rey exit saw fans leave the match after 25 minutes, it allowed the team to focus on avoiding relegation.
Enzo Barrenechea will be suspended for this event, while Dimitri Foulquier and Thierry Correia will be sidelined for injuries.
Valencia predicted lineup vs Villarreal (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Gayà, Diakhaby, Tárrega, Mosquera; Pepelu, Guerra; Almeida, López, Rioja; Duro.
Bet hereOnly 35 km separate Valencia from Villarreal, leading to a friendly rivalry dubbed ‘Derbi de La Comunitat.’ The two clubs are located in the Comunitat of Valencia, justifying the name.
In 57 matches, Villarreal won 21 while Valencia took 24. The 12 games were tied.

The two sides played each other in late August, ending in a 1-1 draw. The hosts last won in March 2024, while their opponents last defeated them in January 2024.
Although Valencia’s form has improved in recent months, their lack of defensive stability could prevent a victory in this Derbi de la Comunitat. Pressing remains an issue that is problematic against well-drilled teams like Villarreal.
Barry was one of his club’s standout forwards in Moreno’s absence. He cannot complain about service with Alejandro Baena consistently providing him opportunities.
With Moreno injured once again, Barry will be expected to step up. He’ll face a team incapable of pressing coherently, which is the ideal scenario to pick up confidence.
