Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal manager Unai Emery will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 away defeat by Barcelona. They came away from that fixture with 30% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Barcelona managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. With 6 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at Estadio de la Cerámica, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
On an individual basis, Gerard Moreno will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Estadio de la Cerámica having scored 6 goals in Villarreal's last 6 home games in the league.
Almeria, Recent FormAlmería will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 home win against Girona. Their share of possession in that meeting was 34%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Girona, who had 14 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Supremo Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 7 goals they've managed to net. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, El Touré has scored in each of Almería's last 0 league games.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Villarreal have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against Rojiblancos. It's been a very long time since Rojiblancos came to Estadio de la Cerámica in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 4 visits. Almería have struggled to break down the El Submarino Amarillo defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Villarreal has had a good run of league results at home to Almería, winning their last 4 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 7.
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.
With only Álex Centelles (Sprained ankle) and Juanjo Nieto (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
