Villarreal vs Real Sociedad
Competition – Spanish Primera
Stadium – Estadio de la Cerámica
Date: 27th January 2018
Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT
These sides were one of the most impressive mid-table teams last season but they have not really lived up to that standard this season due to inconsistencies.
Villarreal however are beginning to put some good results together.
They head into this game in 5th position after back-to-back wins including one at the Bernabeu.
They have lost Cedric Bakambu to the Chinese league but judging by their current form his absence has not affected them as bad as first thought.
They have won 4 of their last 5 league games and conceded only 2 goals in that run of games.
Villarreal have scored an average of 1.8 goals per game at home this season and have a 44% clean sheet ratio there also.
For La Real, they are the perfect definition of a team that is performing below what they should be doing.
Real head into this game without a win in 2018 and Eusebio is beginning to feel the pressure as his side slides further towards the relegation zone.
They have some of the best attacking talents in the league, yet they have taken only 2 points from their last 5 trips and even more worrying is that they scored a total of just 3 goals in those matches which suggests they might have started having problems scoring goals.
They also have the 4th worst defensive record this season with 1.8 goals conceded per game.
Head-to-head things have been even in the last 5 meetings – Real won two, Villarreal won 2 and the 5th game ended in a tie.
