Villarreal showed what they are capable of yesterday. The favourites all scored a lot of goals yesterday, but it's true that Villarreal were the only ones to concede a goal. So far, the situation in the standings has not changed. The next match will be against Real Sociedad, which could be decisive for both teams.
Villarreal's victory against Rayo is very important for Villarreal, because right now Villarreal are struggling to get into the top 6. Moreover, Villarreal is
not usually able to win with a fairly large score. A big win against Rayo can at least increase the confidence of Villarreal players to be able to play well
in the next match. Even if they are lucky Villarreal can also move up to 5th position, but it seems difficult to expect Betis to lose in the last two games.
So the most realistic for Villarreal is to shift Real Sociedad who are in 6th position, especially next match Villarreal will face Real Sociedad, it will be
the deciding match for either Villarreal or Real Sociedad who has the right to be in 6th place.
Lol, Betis and Real Sociedad are in the same zone, so why should Villarreal expect Betis to lose their last two games because after all, it is the same zone for the Europa League. Obviously, Villarreal will only aim to finish in the Europa League because it is better than the Europa Conference League. Also, in their first match of the season Villarreal actually won 1-3 and with that, in the next match I personally have no doubts about the quality of Villarreal who will certainly win and can end the season in sixth place and get a Europa League ticket for next season.
