Summary
- Villarreal climbs to 3rd in La Liga with strong performances
- Valencia in 14th, winless in 4 games, seeking crucial home win
- Key players ruled out or doubtful for both teams due to injuries
On October 26, 2025, Villarreal will travel to face Valencia in a crucial La Liga match. Villarreal has climbed to the third spot in the Spanish league after a string of impressive performances, and they will be looking to keep up the pace with leaders Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Villarreal has an excellent record against Valencia, losing just one of their last seven La Liga meetings. However, Valencia is currently in 14th place and is on a four-game winless streak, including two losses. A win at home could be a crucial turnaround for Valencia's fortunes.
Both teams have injury concerns heading into the match. Valencia will be without Mouctar Diakhaby and Largie Ramazani, while there are doubts over the availability of Filip Ugrinic and Dimitri Foulquier. Villarreal, on the other hand, will be missing Logan Costa, Willy Kambwala, and Pau Cabanes.

Despite the injuries, the match promises to be an exciting one, with Villarreal's key performer Nicolas Pépé leading their attack and Valencia's Hugo Duro and Arnaut Danjuma forming a formidable forward line. The midfield battle between Villarreal's Santi Comesaña, Thomas Partey, and Valencia's Pepelu and Javi Guerra is also expected to be crucial.
