Villarreal to Win
Although Villarreal enters this game after getting eliminated from Copa del Rey by Real Madrid despite having a 2-0 lead at half time, their good form in La Liga is still giving us confidence that they can win this match.
Granted, Girona is also in great form and without a loss in the last seven games, but Villarreal is the better team of the two and they are hosting this game. They also beat Girona in their last three duels, so our prediction is for the Yellow Submarine to win this match.
Both Teams to Score – No
We didn't see both teams score in any of the last five head-to-head duels between Villarreal and Girona, so we can see that being the case on Sunday as well.
That being said, we saw both teams score in 88% of all Girona matches in La Liga this season, but on the other hand, both teams have scored in just 29% of all Villarreal matches in the league so far.

Villarreal
With three wins and one draw in the last four games in the league, Villarreal has done very well lately and they now find themselves in the fifth place in the standings and tied with Atletico Madrid who is one spot ahead. So, it seems that the Yellow Submarine will fight for a spot in Champions League for the next season.

Villarreal Predicted Lineup:
Reina – Cuenca, Albiol, Torres, A. Moreno – Capoue, Morlanes, Parejo – Chukwueze, G. Moreno, Pino
Girona
The newly-promoted Girona is on a great run at the moment since they haven't lost in their last seven games in La Liga, during which time they notched three wins and four draws. So, the team is now sitting in the middle of the standings and they are currently five points ahead of the relegation zone, which is a great spot for them to be in.
However, Girona will be without injured David Lopez, Jesus Carvalho, Javi Hernandez, and Juanpe in their next game.

Player to Watch: Gerard Moreno
The experienced striker missed some games this season with an injury, which is why he only appeared in nine of the team's seventeen matches in La Liga so far.
Despite that, Gerard Moreno is one of the team's top goalscorers with four goals in the league, to which he added two assists as well. So, with the Spaniard being in good form lately, he is our choice as the player to watch against Girona.
