MADRID, 16 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Villarreal are looking for a victory this Monday at the Ciutat de València (9:00 p.m.) to put an end to their poor run of results in LaLiga Santander in the last game of matchday nine against Osasuna, who also needs to leave behind their irregularity in recent weeks .
Unai Emery’s men, who on Thursday solved their place in the Conference League round of 32 with a narrow win against Austria Vienna (0-1), have accumulated four consecutive games in the domestic competition without winning.
The draws against Sevilla (1-1) and Cádiz and the defeats against Real Betis (1-0) and Real Sociedad (1-0), the latter on the previous day, leave the team ninth with 12 units, four from the European zone.
Neither Gerard Moreno nor Juan Foyth will be available for the duel in the Turia capital, while Francis Coquelin is doubtful due to the inconvenience that forced him to abandon the European duel. In return, Manu Trigueros could play his first minutes in LaLiga after his injury.
For its part, the Navarrese team, eighth with 13 points, has gone three games without a victory, with two defeats -against Getafe (0-2) and Valencia (1-2)- and a draw -against Real Madrid in the Bernabéu (1-1)-, and he needs to react so as not to spoil his good start to the season.
Jagoba Arrasate could move an eleven that will not include the injured Kike Saverio or the suspended Unai García and Rubén Peña. Abde, who was unable to train with the team this week due to a concussion, is doubtful for the match.
Villarreal CF – CA Osasuna. González Fuertes (C.Asturiano) 21.00.
