Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

The yellow submarine arrive for this match with a 3-2 home victory over Leganés, registering the second consecutive victory in this championship: Carlos Bacca and Toko Ekambi scored the team's goals. With these three points the visitors managed to breathe in the league table, however, are not yet safe from a possible relegation. Villarreal play in a tactical system different from their opponents, that is, line up in 4-4-2, but privilege ball possession and attacks through the aisles. Karl Toko Ekambi is Villarreal's top scorer, with 9 goals scored. Still, all the creativity in the offensive process is the responsibility of Santi Cazorla. Counterattacks and offensive set pieces are very strong points of this team. For this game the manager Javier Calleja can not count on the injured Bonera.
