Osasuna vs Villarreal Verdict: Shaken the top 6

Villarreal is getting 6th place on the rankings and this is the ranking that helps the Golden Submarine to participate in the European arena. However, coach Quique Setién's army is only 3 points higher than the 7th ranked team Vallecano and this is not a very safe gap when the Spanish league still has 13 more rounds to close.

Of course, Villarreal understands their position and they really want to get all 3 points in this weekend's match against Osasuna to strengthen their position on the standings. Ambition is there, but with the current form, 3 points is not an easy target to achieve for Villarreal.

Remember, the yellow shirt team is in bad shape when losing 1 and drawing 2 in the last 3 matches. It should be remembered, Villarreal also did not have the best physical strength due to having to split up for the European C3 Cup in the middle of the week.

Back to the home team, Osasuna is showing optimistic signs about performance. Specifically, they won 2, drew 1 and lost 1 time in the last 4 rounds in all fronts. Stable performance and more home advantage, Osasuna opened the door to win points from Villarreal.

- Osasuna: Herrera; Vidal, Aridane, D Garcia, Cruz; Brasanac, Torro, M Gomez; Avila, Budimir, Ezzalzouli.

- Villarreal: Reina; Foyth, Albiol, P Torres, Pedraza; Terrats, Parejos, Trigueros; Chukwueze, G. Moreno, Pino.
