Valencia vs Villarreal Match Preview and Team News
Valencia
The good news for Valencia and their manager is the team’s form at the Mestalla. Los Che are unbeaten in four straight home matches with back-to-back games ending in victories against Elche and Celta Vigo. They outscored those opponents 3-0. Valencia manager Gracia has just one player suffering from an injury, and that is Denis Cheryshev. The midfielder could be fit for the Friday night fixture at the Mestalla. After Valencia’s 3-0 loss to Getafe away last weekend, former Arsenal defender Gabriel Paulista broke down in tears during an on-field interview. The defender was emotional over the team’s form. Valencia won the Copa del Rey just two seasons ago and played in the Champions League. Their fall has been incredible, and part of the reason was the sacking of former coach Marcelino, who is now coaching Athletic Bilbao. Midfielder Uros Racic has found the right role in the team, he is moving great, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy. Maximiliano Gomez is the team’s best player; last season, he scored ten goals, and he is doing great in the penalty area.
Villarreal
Villarreal is seventh in the league and is winless in their last six games in the competition. They are coming off of a 2-0 home loss to Atletico Madrid last weekend. Eleven points now separate Unai Emery’s team from the top four. Emery’s team is struggling, and their woes look very similar to those Arsenal did under the manager. Emery has three players on the Villarreal injury list heading into the fixture, midfielder Francis Coquelin and defender Mario Gaspar. Both are expected back in the early part of this month, and one, or both, could make the squad for the fixture. Coquelin has an ankle injury while Gaspar is recovering from a muscle strain. Villarreal’s form in the league has dipped just as their Europa League return came with back-to-back wins in the last 32 versus Red Bull Salzburg. Midfielder Moi Gomez has found the right role in the team, he is moving great, and many say that the new Santi Cazorla is a legend of the Yellow submarine. Gerard Moreno plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable.
