Villarreal, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Villarreal players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Cadiz. During that encounter they had 58% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 18 shots on goal.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Quique Setién will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 9 goals they scored. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 21 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Results have been poor for Villarreal recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Almeria, Recent FormThe 3-2 home defeat to Celta Vigo will not have sat easily with the Almeria squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 63% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Celta Vigo, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 12 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 21 most recent trips.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Lázaro Marques will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Almeria.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 0-2 win for Villarreal.
Villarreal have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against Rojiblancos. Villarreal have managed to keep a clean sheet against Almeria in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, El Submarino Amarillo's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Almeria will have to take their chances when they come.
Villarreal has had a good run of league results at home to Almeria, winning their last 5 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 8.
With only Francis Coquelin (Cruciate ligament) and Alberto Moreno (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Quique Setién will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Almeria manager Vicente Moreno ahead of this clash, with Martin Šviderský (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Moreno a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
