Team News

Villarreal
Athletic Club
  • Pacheta will hope to have Alexander Sorloth and Alfonso Pedraza available for selection on Sunday. The former will start if fit.
  • Elsewhere, Francis Coquelin, Yeremy Pino and Denis Suarez are all absent.
  • Nico Williams and Yuri Berchiche are both doubts for the visitors, who are without injured pair Ander Herrera and Yeray Alvarez.
  • Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta may continue in midfield in the absence of Herrera.

Prediction

  • Villarreal ended a five-game winless run at Granada's expense last time out as the Yellow Submarine secured a 3-2 win away from home. The home side have failed to win five of six league games at El Madrigal.
  • A 2-2 home draw with Valencia last time out means Athletic Club have won just one of their last five league matches. Los Leones have lost back-to-back away league games.
  • Both teams aren't in great form but can put any opponent to the sword on their day. An entertaining draw is possible.
