Why you should back Villarreal
The Yellow Submarine's offense may be revving up as it produced two goals on Saturday after registering the same amount over the team's previous five matches. Gerard Moreno netted one of the tallies in the victory, moving him ahead of Arnaut Groeneveld for the club lead with nine. The 30-year-old forward, who also notched an assist against Getafe, had gone six league contests without a goal after recording seven during a four-game streak.
Manu Trigueros also scored on Saturday to set a career high of six goals, eclipsing the previous mark he recorded in 2016-17. The 30-year-old midfielder is tied for third on the team in goals and also shares the second spot on the club with four assists. Yeremi Pino, a 19-year-old midfielder, also has scored six goals after registering only three in 24 matches last season.
Why you should back Valencia
Prior to Saturday's defeat, Valencia had been extremely tight defensively. The Bats allowed a total of two goals over their previous seven matches across all competitions, posting five clean sheets in that span. The club's offense is led by Carlos Soler and Goncalo Guedes, who share the team lead with 11 goals apiece.
The duo has produced six of Valencia's seven goals over its last six games, with each player scoring three. The 25-year-old Soler has netted the Bats' lone tally in each of their last two outings to match the career-high total he set last season. Guedes also tops the squad with six assists while Soler is right behind him with five.
