Betting suggestion:

This match places head to head two very similar teams, but with different styles of play.

After the great triumph by 1-0 against Real Madrid, Villareal got back on track and conquered three more victories in official matches, which shows the great form of the visiting team: victories against Valencia, Real Sociedad and Huesca. Thus, the great objective of the “yellow submarine” is to keep on the victory track. To do that, the team should play in a medium-high block in order to force the opponent’s mistake in the first phase of construction. However, it is important to highlight that Villareal uses preferably the left flank to attack the opponent, thanks to the good teamwork between the lateral defender Mario Gaspar and the right midfielder Jonathan dos Santos. Also, Bakambu has revealed great quality in shooting at goal, already counting ten goals this season. Jokic and Adrián López are unavailable for this game due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Alphonse Aréola, Mario Gaspar, Antonio Rukavina, Mateo Musacchio, Víctor Ruíz, Pina, Jonathan Dos Santos, Bruno, Denis Suárez, Cédric Bakambu, Soldado.
Coach: U. Emery Etxegoien.
