Team News

Villarreal
Deportivo Alaves
  • Alex Baena is still suspended and will not be available for selection.
  • Yeremy Pino picked up an injury before he was due to join with the Spain squad and is still sidelined for La Liga's resumption this weekend.
  • Defenders Jorge Cuenca and Juan Foyth return from injury, providing some much needed options at the back for Kike Setien.
  • Antonio Blanco returns from suspension and could replace Ander Guevara in midfield to slot straight back in to Luis Garcia's eleven.
  • Jon Guridi returns from injury and should start.
  • Ianis Hagi will be looking to make good on his return to club football, having been voted as on of the best u21 players to feature in the latest international break.

Prediction

  • Villarreal keeper, Filip Jorgensen, who is ranked as the best goalkeeper for shots stopped in La Liga this season, is likely to be pacing up and down his goal line for this one - Alaves are ranked second worst in the league in scoring goals.
  • The visitors also have not won a match in five, and have failed to keep a clean sheet since their last victory.
  • A win for Villarreal is the favourite's prediction, but neither side have drawn against each other in eleven meetings...
