Villarreal, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Real Sociedad will have left the Villarreal squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Real Sociedad, who had 17 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They have a modest amount of points to show from their last 6 games, in spite of only conceding 3 goals, because they have failed to be as predictable in their scoring at the other end despite a reasonable 5 goals. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Unai Emery will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
Villarreal will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
When it comes to home matches at Estadio de la Cerámica, Gerard Moreno will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Villarreal in their last 6 home games.
Osasuna, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Valencia will not have sat easily with the Osasuna squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Valencia's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 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. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Ezequiel Ávila will be looking to cause Villarreal some problems having scored 2 goals in Osasuna's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Villarreal, losing 1-0 to Osasuna.
Los Rojillos will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 9 encounters with Villarreal.
Osasuna has won the last 3 games they've played against Villarreal in the league.
Osasuna man Roberto Torres will be confident about extending his scoring record against Villarreal, having hit the netting 3 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
Villarreal manager Unai Emery has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Francis Coquelin (Calf), Juan Foyth (Knee) and Gerard Moreno (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate ahead of this clash, with Kike Saverio (Tendon) missing out, which gives Arrasate a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
