Valencia, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Rayo Vallecano in their last league game, Valencia will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Rayo Vallecano, who had 7 shots on goal with 1 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.
There will be mixed feelings from Los Che, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their home fixture against Celta Vigo. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Celta Vigo's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Having lost 14 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Marcelino García Toral will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 9 goals they scored. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games; however, they've scored in 16 of their 18 games this season.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Villarreal, José Luis Morales will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
When playing away from home in the league, El Submarino Amarillo have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Valencia.
Villarreal has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Valencia, being unable to find a win from any of their last 5 league meetings at The Estadio de Mestalla.
With only André Almeida (Back) and José Gayà (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rubén Baraja will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral with Francis Coquelin (Physical discomfort), Juan Foyth (Muscle), Matteo Gabbia (Muscle), Gerard Moreno (Calf) and Denis Suárez (Thigh) all unavailable for selection, and Yeremy Pino (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
