Alaves vs Villarreal – Team news, latest form, and possible lineups

The guest are the favourites in this game, but it's a closer duel than it seems at a first glance. So, let's take a closer look at both teams:

Alaves

The loss to Mallorca in a direct duel with another struggling team probably sealed Alaves' faith for this season and we will likely see them in La Liga 2 next season. However, all is not over for Alaves yet despite the fact that they are last in the standings right now. After all, five games remain in the season and Alaves is just six points behind Cadiz, the first team outside of the relegation zone.

On the bright side, Alaves will only be without Javi Lopez in the next game while the rest of the team is in good shape and available for selection.

Alaves predicted lineup:

Pacheco – Navarro, Laguardia, Lejeune, Duarte – Pina, Escalante – Mendez, M. Garcia, Rioja – Joselu

Villarreal

With three wins, one draw and two losses in the last six games in La Liga, Villareal is in solid form, especially considering the fact that they are simultaneously playing in the Champions League still, where they have reached the semi-finals, with the second leg against Liverpool scheduled for Tuesday. In La Liga, Villarreal is seventh and in good position to secure a spot in Europa League for next season.

Meanwhile, Gerard Moreno and Alberto Moreno are out of the upcoming game through injuries, but the rest of the team is healthy and ready to play.

Villarreal predicted lineup:

Rulli – Foyth, Albiol, Mandi, Estupinan – Pino, Capoue, Parejo, Trigueros – Lo Celso – Danjuma
