La Liga: Sevilla seek further fixture dominance over Villarreal

Villarreal are aiming to get back to winning ways after three recent failed attempts in La Liga, having previously rallied to the table’s summit in September with an earlier 1-0 triumph over Atletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, Emery’s visitors pulled off a massive 5-0 hammering over Getafe last time out domestically at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, earning three points to move into a European position in the standings.

Astute attacking ranks

Recently capped Spain international midfielder Vitolo has showcased his true attacking talents in this fixture before, having struck twice against Villarreal last term, and the Los Rojiblancos goal danger is 4/1 to net anytime once again.

Vitolo’s fellow Spain international Fernando Llorente is 2/1 to add to his only season goal so far anytime, while in-form Frenchman Kevin Gameiro is 9/1 to bag a brace or more, after his emphatic hat-trick against Getafe in his last appearance brought his tally to an impressive seven in all competitions.

For the hosts, Jonathan Dos Santos was on target in this fixture last campaign, and the Mexican midfielder is 6/1 to dispatch another against Sevilla on home soil in his latest outing. Former Tottenham misfit Roberto Soldado is 5/1 to open proceedings after a recent rejuvenation.

Injury concerns

The Yellow Submarine will be without Sergio Asenjo, Musacchio, Leo Baptistao and Adrian Lopez for their welcoming of Sevilla, stars who will be a huge miss to their ranks for this vital La Liga meeting, while the visitors have Nico Pareja, Beto and Daniel Carrico absent, with Ever Banega a doubt.
