Match Preview

At Estadio de la Cerámica, Villarreal is set to face off against Valencia in a La Liga encounter on February 22, 2026.

Villarreal, positioned 3rd in the standings with 48 points, will take on Valencia, who sits in 14th place with 26 points.

Villarreal has encountered a slump, suffering 3 losses in their last 6 La Liga matches, while Valencia has also struggled, with 3 defeats in their recent 6 games across all competitions.

The head-to-head stats reveal a trend of 3 draws in their last 6 matches in all competitions between Villarreal and Valencia.

As the Derbi de la Comunitat unfolds, the match is expected to be closely contested.

Prediction: Villarreal to win with probability 49%

Villarreal have won four of their previous six games at home in La Liga. Their only two defeats on their own turf have come in their last four, winning nine of their 12 home matches.

Valencia have only won twice away from home this season, but both those victories have come in their previous three away trips.

When the two sides met earlier in the season, Villarreal secured a 2-0 win away from home. That made it four games unbeaten against Valencia, who haven't won away at Villarreal in La Liga since 2017.
