Villarreal-Osasuna is a match of the eighth day of the Spanish La Liga: where to watch it, the probable formations and the prediction
VILLARREAL – OSASUNA | Monday 9pm
Unai Emery’s Villarreal have not won in La Liga for four rounds. A very different path to the one the yellow team has in the Conference League, where they lead their grouping without any particular problems. And it is mainly because of this start that the hosts are currently far from the European zone and also behind this evening’s opponent, Osasuna, who are aiming to make a big splash in order to redeem last weekend’s defeat against Valencia. The visitors are also perhaps the better away team, as many points have come from games away from home. And that includes the Bernabeu draw against Real Madrid, the only team so far in La Liga to stop Ancelotti’s side.
There would therefore certainly be enough to give the guests slight favourites. But on paper Villarreal are clearly stronger and, moreover, Emery’s team definitely needs points. That is why, in the end, the yellow submarine should come out on top.
