Team News

Villarreal
Valencia
  • Ilias Akhomach and Alfonso Pedraza will both be unavailable for this one as they continue their recovery from long-term injuries.
  • Gerard Moreno was a doubt for the previous fixture and failed to make the squad, and he's been ruled out to face Valencia this time around.
  • Kiko Femenia was substituted against Las Palmas in Villarreal's previous game, but there's a chance he's still fit and available. If the right-back isn't passed fit, we could see Pau Navarro take his place.
  • Thierry Correia remains on the treatment table as he continues his recovery from a long-term knee injury, and he should be the only fitness concern for Carlos Corberan.
  • Enzo Barrenechea will miss the game due to suspension after picking up too many yellow cards, and Pepelu could replace him in the middle of the park.
  • Dimitri Foulquier could make his return to the starting XI at right-back after recovering from his recent injury.

Prediction

  • Villarreal are enjoying an impressive season as they sit just four points away from the Champions League spots. Marcelino's side have won three of their previous four games in La Liga, but they're coming up against an in-form Valencia side.
  • Carlos Corberan's men have seen a resurgence in performances since the former West Brom manager arrived through the door. Since the turn of the year, Valencia have only lost to Barcelona and Real Madrid, winning four of their previous six games in all competitions.
  • Valencia's away form has cost them this season, and they are yet to win on the road in the league. Corberan's men have scored just six goals on their travels, with no side managing fewer.
