Villarreal vs Real Sociedad preview: Team news, lineups, and recent form
The direct duel in the race for Europa League is bound to be very interesting, so let's take a closer look at both teams now:
Villarreal
The Yellow Submarine had a very successful season by reaching the semi-finals of Champions League, but that affected their performances in La Liga where the team is currently in the seventh place. However, they have a chance to get tied with Real Sociedad in the sixth place if they can beat them now, which would put them one step closer to playing in Europa League next season.
When it comes to team news, Villarreal will be without injured Yeremy Pino, Arnaut Danjuma, Alberto Moreno and Gerard Moreno.
Villarreal predicted lineup:
Rulli – Foyth, Albiol, P. Torres, Estupinan – Chukwueze, Capoue, Parejo, Coquelin – Lo Celso – Dia
Real Sociedad
With just two wins in the last six games of La Liga, Real Sociedad has endangered their position and their spot in Europa League next season and if they lose to Villarreal, they might have to be satisfied with playing in Europa Conference League. That being said, things are still in their hands, or better said, their legs.
Meanwhile, Mikel Oyarzabal, Ander Barrenetxea, Nacho Monreal, and Carlos Fernandez are all injured at the moment and out of the upcoming game.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup:
Remiro – Gorosabel, Zubeldia, Elustondo, Rico – Merino, Zubimendi, Rafinha – D. Silva – Sorloth, Portu
