Villarreal have now managed to climb to the 7th spot and now they will try just anything to keep a hold of this position. The reason being, a seventh placed finish is needed at the very least in Spanish top flight in order to qualify for one of the European competitions.
If current positions are maintained till the end of the season, the Yellow Submarines will qualify for the Conference League. However, for a team that just played in the semifinal of the Champions league, this is a demotion.
Fans are not going to be satisfied with the third-tier of European competition. They will want at least a ticket to the Europa League, and that is exactly what the team will be gunning for in the remainder of the campaign.
As of now they are trailing three points below the sixth placed Sociedad, who are currently struggling for form. This is the opportunity to strike, and considering the recent performances of the Yellow Submarines under pressure, it would be unwise to bet against them.
Moreover, it also needs to be understood that Vallecano have nothing else to play for, and they also have a poor head-to-head record against this opponent over the past several seasons.
