Villarreal's recent form has been mixed, with just one win, a draw, and three losses in their last five games, so they have been struggling a bit. In contrast, Valencia has won three of their last five matches, showing they are in better shape recently.

Looking at their recent meetings, the last match between them was a win for Valencia, but the two games before that ended in draws. The matches between these two sides often seem to be quite close and competitive.
