Villarreal form and stats

The seven points Villarreal have gathered from their first three away trips in the La Liga is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

The regulars enjoyed Villarreal's previous fixture versus Lech Poznan, a Europa Conference League win (4-3) played at home. The attacker Baena got a match rating of 8.62 in that game. Baena scored two goals, hit one key pass and had 17 successful passes (of 21 total).

A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Elche.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Europa Conference League trip to Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Villarreal has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games.
