APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Racing Santander to win the 1st half

Racing Santander comes into their match with Villarreal with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

The odds for an outright home win on the 1X2 market are not that appealing, so we recommend taking Racing Santander to win the first half to get the most value out of your bet.

👉 Our prediction is: Villarreal win or draw

Even though Villarreal will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Villarreal to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Villarreal does have its share of flaws, but Racing Santander has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Villarreal.
