Villarreal are suffering a slump and recent 0-4 defeat in Europa League to Roma at home stadium is the best indication of team’s troubles. The yellow submarine has won only one of their recent 5 Primera matches and moved down on sixth place with 36 points gained in 22 matches. Villarreal played 10 matches on the road this season, taking six draws, two wins and two defeats and gaining 12 points with 8-6 aggregate goal difference. At the same time, the team has avoided defeats on the road in recent four matches since the middle of November.
Villarreal are more successful in recent matches against Real Sociedad. However, the hosting side is obvious favorite of upcoming game, considering poor conditions of Villarreal and close schedule of the team.
Prediction for the match: Real Sociedad to win.
