Borja Valero - Villarreal
There is something deeply melancholy about the sight of Villarreal battling to avoid relegation. A team that over the last few seasons has illuminated La Liga with a brand of intelligent, incisive football which has brought them success beyond their wildest expectations; a Champions League semi-final and four top-five finishes in the last five years, not bad going for a relatively small town.
Despite this dip in form, the odds are still stacked in their favour against Sporting Gijon on Monday night, priced as they are at 3/4 (1.75) with Sportingbet.
This season the wheels of the Yellow Submarine have been inconsistent, without the invention in midfield of Santi Cazorla (sold to Malaga in the summer) and the dynamism of Giuseppe Rossi upfront (out for six months with a broken leg), Villarreal have been a shadow of the team that graced the division despite some quality remaining in the ranks.
Nilmar and Marco Ruben are attempting to fill the goal scoring void, both priced at 9/2 (5.5) to break the deadlock in this game with Sportingbet.
Nor has it been a particularly happy campaign for Sporting and their manager Manuel Preciado, a man for whom the phrase "wears his heart on his sleeve" was invented. Both teams occupy a place in the relegation zone after a weekend of action.
In short this is a huge match for both sides, with victory representing a potential life-line and defeat a disaster. In matches like these, the draw is often the best bet given that both sides will be desperate not to lose, and Sportingbet offer 13/5 (3.60) on the scores finishing level.
But instead, the wise money should be invested in a home win. Villarreal have in fact been moderately strong at El Madrigal losing there only once all season and are unbeaten on their own turf in the last four matches.
It has been their away form which has been of deep concern, but at home they still remain backable at 3/4 (1.75), and Villareal should have enough to claim three vital points.
