A point gained from their 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Girona.  During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 15 shots on goal.  

Manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 15 of their 17 games this season.  

They have had an excellent run of form at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.  

Goalscorer Valentín Castellanos will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 7 goals in his last 6 league matches for Girona.

In their last league encounter, Villarreal racked up a stunning 5-1 home win against Athletic Bilbao.  In that game they had 57% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 11 on target, compared to Athletic Bilbao who had 10 attempts and 5 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 13 games in a row, and in this season's away games, they've recorded 7 clean sheets out of a possible 17.  

Nicolas Jackson will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 6 goals in the last 6 league outings for Villarreal.
