Command Analysis
Villarreal
SpainCurrent form
Villarreal was definitely among the clear contenders for a European Cup ticket before the start of the season, but it was not a clear favorite for a place in the top four. At the start of the season, the yellow submarine skillfully used its main trump card in the form of not having to fight on two fronts and made a very solid start, immediately ending up in the top six.
It was not possible to hold the entire first round at a high level, in December the Marcelino team issued an unsuccessful series, but the short-term crisis did not turn into a disaster. Villarreal took excellent advantage of the decline of Real Sociedad, Girona and other competitors, putting serious pressure on Athletic in the fight for fourth place throughout the past stretch of the tournament.
Villarreal currently occupies fifth place in the table with 44 points and is only four points behind Athletic, who lost their match in the 26th round - there is a great opportunity to get close to the Basques. In the last round, the yellow submarine beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in a very difficult match, thus registering its 12th victory of the season.

Espanyol
SpainCurrent form
Espanyol was one of the potential candidates for relegation from Primera before the start of the season, but it was not the main outsider in the upcoming battle for survival. In general, the selection of players and experience allowed the parrots to count on maintaining their registration in the elite, but the first matches of the championship showed that the season would not be simple – two defeats in a row sent the blue and white team to the bottom of the table.
Espanyol eventually avoided a serious setback at the start and managed to produce several successful series, thanks to which they did not immediately get stuck in the relegation season. At the same time, the lack of stability made it difficult to break away from the outsiders, and for the first half of the season, the parrots teetered on the edge of the abyss, periodically falling through, but finding the strength to get out again.
At the moment, Manolo Gonzalez's team occupies the 15th place in the table with 27 points in the asset and is four points ahead of the relegation zone - such a handicap cannot guarantee anything yet. In the last round, Espanyol scored a very important 1-0 away victory over a direct competitor in the person of Alaves, managing to score points in the second match in a row and move away from the competition.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gragera, Ramon and Pacheco are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Espanyol have suffered only one defeat in their last seven matches.
- Espanyol have scored in the last seven matches.
- In the last four matches, Espanyol lost to Villarreal.
Approximate composition: Garcia — El Hilali, Cabrera, Cumbula, Olivan—Jofre, de Zarate, Kral, Lozano, Puado—Fernandez.
