Villarreal Preview – Can Villarreal repeat win?
Villarreal managed to hold onto the last European spot in La Liga at the end of last season’s Spanish top flight campaign despite losing 2-1 away from home at Real Madrid on the final day of the season.
Previous back-to-back wins against Real Valladolid 2-0 away from home and a resounding 4-0 home win against Sevilla helped Villarreal to a 7th place finish last season though and a place in the Europa Conference League.
A slightly inconsistent looking home record of 8-6-5 29/23 for Villarreal last term will see the hosts looking to improve at home this term but the last meeting against Granada ended with a 3-0 win for Villarreal away from home.
Granada Preview – Can Granada end drought?
Although they finished in 98th place in La Liga at the end of last season, in truth, Granada were way behind their Sunday’s hosts, Villarreal, as a margin of 12 points separated the two teams which was due to Granada losing four of their last five matches of the campaign.
Defeats against Cadiz, Real Betis, Real Madrid and Alaves underlined the problems that Granada had to endure towards the end of last season while the visitors managed just five wins from their last 20 matches overall.
On top of that, Granada registered just two wins on the road from their last 13 matches on their travels which also saw the visitors suffer a leaky defence, conceding 2 goals or more in 11 of these 13 away matches as well.
