Team News

Villarreal
Granada
  • Jorge Cuenca will be a miss for the Granada clash having accumulated five yellow cards. Alberto Moreno will more than likely keep his spot at left-back.
  • Eric Bailly returns from his injury, though it is unlikely he will make the starting XI.
  • Santi Comesana scored twice in the victory over Sociedad and will be present at the heart of midfield again this weekend.
  • Gerard Gumbau's suspension carries over to this week after Granada's last game against Valencia was postponed.
  • Kamil Piatkowski and Ignasi Miquel return from their suspensions and will be available on Sunday.
  • Carlos Neva will likely replace Faitout Maouassa at left-back.

Prediction

  • Villarreal welcome Granada to La Ceramica this weekend for a match that could see them leapfrog two spots in La Liga and into 11th in their bid to return to the top half of the table. Granada desperately need points and are currently seven points adrift of safety.
  • The reverse fixture of this one ended 3-2 to Villarreal, with all five goals coming in the first half of the match. Bryan Zaragoza was Granada's shining light in that game, a player who is now enjoying his opportunities at Bayern Munich as his former club continue to struggle in La Liga.
  • Villarreal will be looking to build on their victory over Real Sociedad last week, and could likely keep a clean sheet in this one, too.
