Villarreal form and stats
19 points is a decent return from 9 La Liga games here at Estadio de la Cerámica for Villarreal. The data says 5 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses.
In the game before, an away victory in the La Liga match versus Celta de Vigo with a 4-0 scoreline.
The victory against Tenerife came after Fernando Niño's winning goal. The Villarreal manager U. Emery Etxegoien was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 75th minute.
The manager U. Emery Etxegoien will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Huesca in only three days.
A decent goal production from Villarreal in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. Villarreal are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio de la Cerámica in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 9 matches.
Granada form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Granada, who have the fewest scored goals (5) away in La Liga, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Granada has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Osasuna in the La Liga.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Granada manager D. Martínez Penas as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Osasuna.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Granada manager D. Martínez Penas has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
