Latest Villarreal vs Girona team information

Villarreal are struggling with a long list of first-team players absent through injury, including Ramon Terrats, Eric Bailly, Ayoze Perez, Ilias Akhomach, Nicolas Pepe, Juan Foyth and Alfonso Pedraza.

In the match against Osasuna, Gerard Moreno replaced Terrats in the second half and he is likely to start in the upcoming match, this could be the only change from the previous match's lineup.

Denis Suarez and Juan Bernat are potential options, but Sergi Cardona is expected to continue at left-back, while Yeremy Pino is likely to retain his starting spot on the right flank.

On Girona's side, the injury situation has significantly improved, with only Yangel Herrera, Gabriel Misehouy and Portu certain to miss this match.

Coach Michel will make a number of changes to the team that played against Sturm Graz in the Champions League. Yaser Asprilla is expected to return, while Donny van de Beek could also return to the starting line-up.

Bojan Miovski, who scored twice against Espanyol last weekend, is likely to continue leading the attack, while Arnaut Danjuma and Viktor Tsygankov could start on the bench.

Latest football commentary Villarreal vs Girona

Villarreal have won 7, drawn 4 and lost 2 after 13 rounds in La Liga this season, thereby maintaining fourth place in the rankings, 4 points behind third-placed Atletico Madrid but with a match in hand.

The Yellow Submarine have been a force to be reckoned with in La Liga this season, scoring 25 goals but conceding 21. However, to secure a top-four finish, they will need to improve their defence.

In their most recent match, coach Marcelino's team drew 2-2 with Osasuna in a dramatic way. Despite being two goals down away from home, Alex Baena narrowed the gap in the 67th minute before Gerard Moreno converted a penalty in the 93rd minute, earning them a valuable point.

Villarreal are currently on a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions, including a 3-0 home win over Alaves and a 6-1 demolition of Poblense in the Copa del Rey at the end of October. However, they have been in better form away from home, with 14 of their 25 points this season coming on the road.

Meanwhile, Girona have only won 8 points from 7 away matches in La Liga in the 2024-25 season. The Catalans are going through a difficult season after their historic performance last season, when they finished in third place and qualified for the Champions League.

However, a tight schedule is proving difficult for Girona, who have lost four of their five Champions League group games and are currently 30th in the standings, ahead of their next match against Liverpool.

However, in La Liga, Girona are in good form with three consecutive wins against Leganes, Getafe and Espanyol, thereby rising to seventh place, only 4 points behind Villarreal despite playing one more game.

Girona won 2-1 against Villarreal in the corresponding fixture last season. However, the Yellow Submarine have won four of their last five La Liga meetings and will have a bigger advantage as Girona were in Champions League action on Wednesday, losing 1-0 to Sturm Graz in Austria.
