Villarreal form and stats

Nothing but glory last season for Villarreal, as they won the Champions League.

There's been little loot from Villarreal's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 15 away games in the La Liga. Villarreal only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws. When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 5W-2D-2L. This is both home and away.

Villarreal played 1-1 against Athletic Club in their previous match. Pedraza was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.95. The defender Pedraza scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 10 of 16 duels.

The schedule is very tough for Villarreal now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A La Liga game at Getafe is waiting in only four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Villarreal as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
