Team News

Valencia
Villarreal
  • Fabian Orellana is suspended for the home side, which means that Nani and Rodrigo should feature on the flanks.
  • Ezequiel Garay is carrying a knock, but should start at centre-back due to the opportunity to impress the club's new coach that will be watching - Marcelino.
  • Jose Gaya should be preferred to Toni Lato at left-back, with Joao Cancelo missing out on a starting place down the right.
  • Samu Castillejo misses out for the away side, serving the first of a two-game retrospective suspension.
  • Fran Escriba has a lot of players carrying knocks, but they should be risked as Villarreal attempt to secure Europa League football for another season.
  • Victor Ruiz could be replaced by Alvaro Gonzalez if required, with Manu Trigueros and Bruno expected to start in the centre of the park.

Prediction

  • Valencia have won their last two games in La Liga and recently racked up a very comfortable 4-1 win against already relegated Osasuna at Osasuna.
  • Voro's farewell game will be played against one of the club's closest rivals, with Marcelino's presence bound to motivate his players to impress and play at a high level.
  • Villarreal have only taken one point from their last six available in La Liga, which has made this contest a must-win for the Yellow Submarine if they are to keep a European finish in their own hands.
