The new coach of “Villarreal,” Pacheta, likely spent most of the international break in front of the drawing board because the “Yellow Submarine” hasn’t shown any signs of resurfacing since his appointment. Just one victory in five La Liga matches since the replacement of Kike Seti?n is unlikely to endear Pacheta to the fans, and the most disheartening result in this series came in their last match – a home defeat to the recently promoted “Las Palmas” (1:2). Furthermore, the “Yellow Submarine” has lost four of their last five duels at the “Estadio de la Cer?mica.” Suarez, Coquelin, Pino, and Baena, who is serving a suspension, will be unavailable.
A visit from their fellow strugglers from “Deportivo Alaves” could provide “Villarreal” with the opportunity to return to the winners’ circle, as the guests continue to endure a terrible start to life in Spain’s top division following a five-match winless streak in which they managed to score just two goals. Coach Luis Garc?a praised the defense after the draw with “Betis” before the international break but lamented that they “always miss the final shot or the final pass.” “Alaves” has not won in 19 consecutive away matches in La Liga, and the only goal scored away from home in this competition demonstrates their lowest scoring record in the division. Simeone and Lopez, who has an ankle injury, will not take the field. More all today football match predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
