History:

Valencia CF will make a 40-mile jaunt up north to visit regional opposition Villarreal CF October 18th at 4pm kick-off time on matchday 6 of LaLiga Santander. Valencia CF will return to action coming off the back of a home loss against Real Betis Balompié before the international break for a regional Sunday derby.

Valencia CF have visited their regional neighbours on 33 occasions with a balance of 11 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses. Valencia CF’s latest win on the road in the domestic competition dates back to 2014 with Skhodran Mustafi at the double and Gerard Moreno early own goal.

Valencia CF will try to recapture their away form following their recent away win at San Sebastian at the expense of their regional neighbours who have some familiar faces in the squad and in the dugout.
