VALENCIA (Interstat) — Valencia will host Villarreal on Saturday at Estadio de Mestalla in a soccer match between two clubs looking to improve their all-competitions form.

Villarreal enters with three wins, five losses and three draws across all competitions this season. Valencia has one win, four losses and four draws. The home side will play at Mestalla, while Villarreal will be the visiting team.

Villarreal’s Sergi Cardona is a player to watch. He scored and played 90 minutes in Villarreal’s most recent match, a 4-3 loss at Liverpool. T. Oluwaseyi and Georges Mikautadze also scored in that match, giving Villarreal multiple contributors in a high-scoring game. Cardona has also recently played 90 minutes against Elche CF Ilicitano, 6 minutes against Napoli and 67 minutes at Real Madrid, making him a consistent presence.

Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski is another player to watch. He played 90 minutes in Valencia’s most recent match, a 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao at Valencia. Pablo Maffeo and Javi Guerra also played the full match in that clean-sheet result. Dimitrievski’s performance will be central for Valencia against a Villarreal side that showed scoring balance in its last outing.

Villarreal’s recent results include a 0-0 draw with Elche CF Ilicitano, a 3-1 win over Napoli and a 1-0 loss at Real Madrid, in addition to earlier wins over Levante and Malaga and draws with Club Atletico de Madrid and Real Racing. Valencia’s recent results include a 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao, a 2-2 draw at Racing Santander, a 3-2 loss to Real Sociedad and a 0-0 draw at Alaves. Both teams have had several close matches this season, and the Mestalla meeting offers each side a chance to establish momentum.

Valencia’s upcoming schedule includes matches against Elche CF Ilicitano, Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna and Getafe. Villarreal’s upcoming slate includes Espanyol, Getafe, FC Barcelona, Celta and Real Sociedad. The next stretch could shape the tone for both clubs, but the focus first falls on the Mestalla meeting.
