Team News

Villarreal
Athletic Club
  • Francis Coquelin and Jose Morales are out with knee injuries for Villarreal.
  • Kiko Femenia is a doubt for his side as he is close to recovering from a muscle problem.
  • Yeray Alvarez has a muscle problem keeping him out while Jon Morcillo is sidelined with a broken collarbone. Iker Muniain and Inigo Martinez are also suffering from muscle injuries.
  • Dani Vivian is suspended for Athletic Bilbao due to a red card against Real Betis.

Prediction

  • Villarreal's hopes of returning to the Champions League are fading after a 1-1 draw against Valencia means they are seven points off a top four spot with five games to go. Jackson scored in the draw but Villarreal could not hold onto their lead. The Yellow Submarines are still unbeaten in their last three games.
  • On the other hand, a winless run of three games has seen Athletic Bilbao drop out of the European places. They lost 1-0 to Betis in their last match, and Vivian received a late red to add to their defensive problems. They are now eighth in the table.
  • Villareal are winless in their last nine matches against Athletic. Inaki Williams scored the only goal in the reverse fixture to give his side a 1-0 win.
