Villarreal rightly favoured for second win of the season
After a fifth-placed finish in 2022-23, three points from four matches is an underwhelming start for Villarreal. The home side are still rightly favourites in the match winner market, however, as they face an Almeria team with only one point on the board.
Almeria narrowly avoided relegation last season, finishing on 41 points. They have a poor head-to-head record against Villarreal, failing to win any of the last eight meetings and los ing six times in that span.
While Villarreal haven’t been at their best so far this season, they are clearly the stronger of these two teams and should be able to secure a victory.
Villarreal vs Almeria Bet 1: Villarreal to win @ 1/2 Bet9ja
Moreno to find the net with Sorloth doubtful
Villarreal forward Alexander Sorloth is a doubt with a hip problem. This means Gerard Moreno is expected to lead the line for the hosts. The Spaniard’s stats are not massively to start the season, with just one goal to his name, but he scored seven times in under 1300 league minutes last term.
Moreno has also fired off two shots in each of his four league outings. In a match Villarreal are expected to control, the 31-year-old should have plenty of goal-scoring opportunities if he starts as the central striker. Almeria have conceded 15 shots per match so far this season, which is the third-highest mark in La Liga.
Moreno to score anytime is one of the top Villarreal vs Almeria predictions for Sunday’s match.

Visitors get on the score sheet
Almeria have averaged 15 shots per match so far this season, which is the third-most in La Liga behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. The away side have scored at least once in each of their last three matches.
Villarreal’s back line has not been as solid as it was last season. Cadiz found the net three times in Villarreal’s last match, and they have conceded six goals across their two home league fixtures.
The combination of Almeria ’s chance creation and Villarreal struggling defensively means there’s value to be found backing Almeira to score.
