📋 Team News: Osasuna

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Osasuna boss Jagoba Arrasate to be concerned with from a near full-strength group of players. Rubén Peña (Torn Muscle Fibre) is out of contention.

In all likelihood, Los Rojillos may well use a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Aitor Fernandez, Nacho Vidal, Aridane Hernandez, David Garcia, Manuel Sanchez, Jon Moncayola, Lucas Torro, Moi Gomez, Enrique Barja, Ezequiel Avila and A. Ezzalzouli.

📋 Team News: Villarreal

Thanks to a fully healthy group to pick from, the Villarreal manager Quique Setién doesn’t have any fitness worries whatsoever before this clash.

It’s our belief that El Submarino Amarillo appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, settling for Pepe Reina, Juan Foyth, Raul Albiol, Pau Torres, Alfonso Pedraza, Ramon Terrats, Daniel Parejo, Manuel Trigueros, Samuel Chukwueze, Gerard Moreno and Yeremi Pino.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Osasuna will need to put in a solid display to see themselves scoring against this Villarreal lineup who we think should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We therefore see a narrow 0-1 win for Villarreal at the end of this game.
