After 9 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, the home team is in the 5^th position, havinf won 31 points so far. In the last match, they have won at home against Girona by (1‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) an away match against Celta de Vigo. In the last 8 home league matches Villarreal has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 19 points out of 24 possible. In their home matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 2‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). 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 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Villarreal comes for this match after a 1-0 victory against Girona: the only goal of the match was signed by Dani Parejo. It is possible that we will see the home team preferring a 4-3-3 tactical formation, where the three most advanced players are Gerard Moreno, Samuel Chukwueze and Yéremy Pino: the first player mentioned is the team's top scorer, with 4 goals scored. Despite being a team that likes to retreat and defend in their midfield, they also manage to leave very easily for the counterattack. Out of this game are Giovani Lo Celso, Nicolas Jackson, Alfonso Pedraza and Kiko Femenía, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Filip Jörgensen, Albiol, Juan Foyth, Jorge Cuenca, Alberto Moreno, Samuel Chukwueze, Yeremi Santos, Álex Baena, Étienne Capoue, Dani Parejo, Gerard Moreno.
Coach: U. Emery Etxegoien.
