Valencia — Villarreal : Match Preview and Prediction for October 25,2025

Valencia’s Recent Form and Outlook

Valencia started the season relatively well, but Carlos Corberan’s squad is currently experiencing a minor downturn. The ‘Bats’ have been unable to secure a victory in their last four league matches, causing them to drop to 14th place. However, following the international break, the ‘Dark Whites’ managed to secure a valuable point in Vitoria-Gasteiz, holding Alavés to a pragmatic 0-0 draw and ending their two-game losing streak. Returning to Mestalla, they will be looking to rediscover their winning form, especially against a Villarreal side that is currently facing significant challenges. The home team will be without Diakhaby, Foulquier, Ugrinic, and Ramazani for this fixture against the ‘Yellow Submarine’.

Villarreal’s Current Struggles and Upcoming Fixtures

Villarreal has also been grappling with a demanding schedule in October, leading to a dip in form. The ‘Yellow Submarine’ finds itself on a four-game winless run across various competitions. Marcelino’s squad, which typically adheres to a long-standing 4-4-2 formation, has displayed uncharacteristically shaky defensive performances, with goalkeepers Tenas and Junior consistently making errors.

The past week offered little solace for the visiting fans. Villarreal initially squandered a two-goal lead at home against Betis, settling for a 2-2 draw after Antoni netted a brace for the Sevillians. This was followed by a deserved 0-2 defeat at home to City in the Champions League. With only one point from three Champions League matches, the ‘Yellows’ face an uphill battle to progress. Now, a somewhat fatigued Villarreal team under Marcelino heads to Mestalla for a league clash. Cabañes, Costa, and Cambwala will be unavailable for the visitors against Valencia.
