Villarreal Team News

In the previous round, Villarreal defeated Granada away from home with 2:3. The visiting team had already scored three goals by the 28th minute, and Gerard Moreno was the double scorer in this match, while Alexander Sorloth scored one goal. However, by the end of the half, the home team managed to reduce the result advantage, scoring two goals, but not to fully return to the duel. Until the end of the match, the result remained unchanged.

They currently occupy the 12th position in the table with the same number of points, six less than their next rival, Athletic Bilbao. In the last nine competitive matches, they recorded three wins, three draws, and three losses.

Villarreal will again be without the services of Francis Coquelin, Denis Suarez, and Yeremy Pino against Athletic Bilbao, while Juan Foyth and Alfonso Pedraza remain questionable. The Yellow Submarine is hoping that Alexander Sorloth will be able to overcome a minor muscle problem to once again participate in the attack alongside Gerardo Moreno.

Manu Trigueros scored a hat-trick in the side’s 5-0 win against Chiclana in the Copa del Rey, and the Spaniard is now expected to make the starting line-up for the league this weekend.

Athletic Bilbao Team News

In the last league match, Athletic Bilbao played a draw at home with Valencia 2:2. They took the lead in the 32nd minute with a goal by Oscar de Marcos, but then the guests turned around. However, in the seventh minute of injury time, Alex Berenguer managed to equalize and get a point for his team.

After eleven played rounds, Athletic Bilbao occupies the sixth position in the table with 18 points, one less than the fifth-placed Real Sociedad. In the current part of the season, they recorded six wins three draws, and three losses each.

Athletic Bilbao has a slight doubt over Nic Williams, who has a muscle injury, but there is hope that the Spain international will be able to start the game. Yuri Berchiche is also a serious doubt, while Ander Herrera and Yeray Alvarez are unavailable for selection due to injuries.

There will be big changes to the side that started in Wednesday’s Copa del Rey match, but Ares Adu’s two goals in that competition are likely to see him considered by his manager for a potential start here.
