Villarreal Team News

Villarreal played a 1-1 draw in their last league match against Rayo Vallecano. They took the lead in the 15th minute with a goal from Alexander Sorloth, assisted by Alex Baena. However, just one minute later, the home team managed to equalize, and the score remained unchanged until the end of the match.

Before that match, Villarreal lost 2-0 to Panathinaikos in the group stage of the Europa League, but they had recorded two wins in La Liga against Almeria (2-1) and Mallorca (1-0), along with three losses to Cadiz (3-1), Barcelona (3-4), and Betis (1-2). They currently sit in 12th place in the table with seven points, three more than Celta Vigo, who are in the relegation zone.

Villarreal midfielder Francis Coquelin remains a long-term absentee, while Jorge Cuenca and Denis Suarez are unlikely to feature due to injury issues. Left-back Alfonso Pedraza returns from suspension and will replace Alberto Moreno, who is unavailable following a red card over the weekend. Coach Pacheta also has doubts about two key players after Spanish internationals Alex Baena and Gerard Moreno were forced to leave the field in Sunday’s draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Girona Team News

In the previous round of LaLiga, Girona defeated Mallorca 5-3 at home. Despite the away team taking an early lead in the fourth minute, the home side scored five goals between the 26th and 57th minutes. David Lopez, Artem Dovbyk, Ivan Martin, Yangel Herrera, and Savio all found the net for Girona, while the visitors managed to score two late goals but couldn’t complete the comeback.

Girona has been playing phenomenally at the start of the season, with five wins and only one draw. After the draw with Real Sociedad (1-1), they managed to defeat Getafe (3-0), Sevilla (1-2), Las Palmas (1-0), Granada (2-4), and Mallorca. They are currently tied for first place in the table with 16 points, the same as Barcelona.

Girona’s players Borja Garcia and Toni Villa are injured, and there are doubts about the availability of defender Bernardo Espinosa. After scoring five goals against Mallorca in the previous victory, coach Michel may be inclined to field an unchanged lineup for Wednesday’s match. Brazilian winger Savio, who has scored in the last two games for Girona, will continue to pose a threat from the left flank, while Ukrainian international Viktor Tsygankov will operate from the opposite side.
