Villarreal – Real Sociedad Preview: News, Form, and Predicted Lineups
Let's take a closer look at both teams ahead of their duel, including the most likely Villarreal vs Real Sociedad lineups:
Villarreal
With three wins in the last four games, Villarreal is clearly in good form right now and they've left the poor run of four losses in a row behind them at this point. Overall, the Yellow Submarine is in the sixth place and while they are currently seven points behind Real Sociedad in fourth, which is a spot that leads to Champions League, there is still time for them to catch up – especially if they can win their upcoming duel.
Meanwhile, Gerard Moreno, the team's top scorer, is once again out with an injury, while Etienne Capoue and Francis Coquelin are also on the sidelines.
Villarreal Predicted Lineup:
Reina – Foyth, Albiol, P. Torres, Pedraza – Baena, Parejo, Trigueros – Chukwueze, Morales, Pino
Real Sociedad
In the last six games, Real Sociedad has two wins, three draws, and one loss, which was enough to keep the team in fourth place in the standings for now, which is their goal for the season – securing a spot in Champions League. However, with twelve games remaining in La Liga, the team from San Sebastian will have to do well if they want to keep that position, with a few teams close behind them.
When it comes to team news, Martin Merquelanz, Umar Sadiq, and Aritz Elustondo remain out with injuries at this time.
Real Sociedad Predicted Lineup:
Remiro – Barrenetxea, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Rico – Mendez, Zubimendi, Merino – Kubo, Sorloth, Oyarzabal
