Failing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Barcelona will have left the Las Palmas squad feeling a little deflated.  They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Barcelona's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in 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.

The Villarreal players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Valencia recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Valencia had 11 shots on goal with 8 on target.  

Marcelino García Toral, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 14 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 9 goals scored.  They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games; however, they've scored in 17 of their 19 games this season.  

With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.  

José Luis Morales will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Villarreal.
