Valencia, Recent FormThe Valencia players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Cádiz recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 8 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Celta Vigo. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Celta Vigo who had 14 attempts and 5 on target.
Manager Quique Setién will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
José Luis Morales has scored 5 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Valencia.
The 2-1 victory which Villarreal recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
When playing away from home in the league, El Submarino Amarillo have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 matches against Valencia.
In the league, Valencia has an strong track record when they play host to Villarreal, notchng up a win in their last 4 home games.
With Marcos André (Meniscus) being out for the rest of the season and Justin Kluivert (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Valencia manager Rubén Baraja will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Villarreal manager Quique Setién with Kiko Femenía (Muscle), José Luis Morales (Hamstring) and Gerard Moreno (Calf) all unavailable for selection, and Francis Coquelin (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
