Villarreal II form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga 2, Villarreal II have managed 8 wins, 6 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 19 games.

Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Villarreal with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Tenerife game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Ahead of that match, Villarreal II lost 1-2 at home to Albacete.
