Villarreal CF and UD Almería will provide a close battle in El Madrigal when the two teams square off on matchday 8 of the competition. Both sides have had an identical run in the last five matches (2W, 2D, 1L), which is why an intense and tight match with chances for both teams is expected.
Team news
Antonio Rukavina, Mateo Musacchio, Bojan Jokić and Hernán Pérez did not make the squad for the Yellows, who face the clash with a depleted defence. For the Andalusian side, who have won two consecutive games as visitors, Fran Vélez and Teerasil Dangda are back in the fold.
Views from the dugout
"Almería are getting good results away from home as a result of the great pace of their players. They are very good on the counter and that means we have to be very alert when we lose the ball", said the home coach, Marcelino. Meanwhile, his counterpart, Francisco Rodríguez, revealed that the side from Castellon will be an opponent that demands "two hundred per cent" from them.
