Alaves, Recent FormThe Alaves squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 home defeat against Barcelona, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 36% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Barcelona managed 8 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 8 of their 11 games this season.
It's been mixed fortunes for Alavés at The Estadio Mendizorrotza recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Samuel Samu will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Alaves.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Cadiz. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Cadiz had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Marcelino García Toral will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 10 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 20 of their 23 games overall.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Away from home in the league, Gerard Moreno has given the Villarreal travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Alavés defence has struggled against El Submarino Amarillo in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 12 games.
Villarreal has a poor track record in the league when they visit Alavés, losing in their last 2 games.
Gerard Moreno will be feeling confident of netting goals for Villarreal in this one against Alavés with his scoring record of 5 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Despite Aleksandar Sedlar (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season Alavés manager Luis García Plaza will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral with Juan Foyth (Muscle), Dani Parejo (Knee), Alfonso Pedraza (Ankle), Denis Suárez (Thigh), Ramón Terrats (Meniscus) and Bertrand Traoré (Unknown) all unavailable for selection, and Yeremy Pino (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
