Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal manager Quique Setién will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Celta Vigo. They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 3 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Celta Vigo managed 21 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
Setién will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They are showing great consistency at The Estadio de la Cerámica in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They have had a strong run of form at The Estadio de la Cerámica recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Gerard Moreno will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Villarreal.
Girona, Recent FormGirona will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Sevilla. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Sevilla's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 14 games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Girona, Rodrigo Riquelme will be looking to add more goals against Villarreal in this match.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-1 win for Villarreal.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Estadio de la Cerámica, Villarreal have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Blanquivermells have scored in each of their past 3 encounters away from home in the league against Villarreal.
Villarreal has a poor track record in the league when they host Girona, losing in their last 2 home games.
