Villarreal, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 away win over Real Betis in their last league game, Villarreal will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. During that encounter they had 46% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 13 shots on goal.
Their boss Marcelino García Toral has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 13 of their 14 games this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Alexander Sørloth is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 6 goals in Villarreal's last 6 league matches.
Valencia, Recent FormValencia will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Getafe. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Getafe who had 14 attempts and 5 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Rubén Baraja will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 13 away games this season.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Valencia, Hugo Duro will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Valencia recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Villarreal have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Los Che.
Valencia will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 4 times they've visited Villarreal in the league and not won this away fixture at The Estadio de la Cerámica for 6 games in a row.
Villarreal player Gerard Moreno will be feeling confident about recording goals against Valencia ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Raúl Albiol (Foot), Juan Foyth (Thigh), Alfonso Pedraza (Sprained ankle), Yeremy Pino (Cruciate ligament), Denis Suárez (Hamstring) and Ramón Terrats (Meniscus) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Despite Mouctar Diakhaby (Knee) being out for the rest of the season Valencia manager Rubén Baraja will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
