No serious injuries in both teams before this match. Farinos and Iniguez are close to return for Villarreal and they are doubts, while Cani continues to recover from knee injury, but he also is close to return. Almeria will be in this visit without their striker Rodri (regular player) and Fernandez, while Oliveira is doubt, but he should play.
Match facts:
In the first meeting this season Villarreal won vs Almeria with 3-1. In 2013 there was 4 head to head matches between these two clubs - 2 victories for Villarreal, 1 draw and 1 for Almeria (but in friendly game in the summer). In the last 5 years there was 9 head to head matches and the balance is equal - 3-3-3. Here on El Madrigal huge advantage for the home team after 3 victories and draw in the last 4 fixtures.
Probable lineups:
Villarreal - Asenjo, Costa, Paulista, Musacchio, Mario, Gomez, Bruno, Pina, Perez, Uche, Santos
Almeria - Esteban, Rafita, Trujillo, Torsiglieri, Dubarbier, Verza, Azeez, Barbosa, Soriano, Vidal, Diaz
Prediction:
Villarreal are 5th in the table after 10-4-5 (37-21). In the last season they was in Segunda Division, but now have chances for top 4 place in Primera and Champions league place, because the fourth in the table - Bilbao is with only 2 points more. In the last round great home victory with 5-1 vs Real Sociedad and this was their second huge victory in Primera in 2014, after before that they won vs Rayo Vallecano with 5-2. Almeria are 16th in the table after 5-4-10 (21-38). In the last round they lost with 1-6 vs Bilbao, while in the midweek lost at home in the Cup against team from Segunda, so I expect easy victory for Villarreal.
