Villarreal – Espanyol : Preview & Prediction
Villarreal is struggling this season. After eighteen La Liga days, the Yellow Submarine is stuck in 17th place. A position far from the ambitions of the teammates of Carlos Bacca. Especially since Luis Garcia’s men have not won since five games in La Liga. Remaining on three draws in a row, Villarreal CF could not make the King’s Cup a priority. While the Yellow Submarine host Espanyol Barcelona during this round of 16 first leg, the task could be delicate. If the Catalan club remained three defeats in a row, the teammates of Pablo Piatti have found the road to success last weekend against Leganes (1-0). Well placed in the eighth place of La Liga, Espanyol Barcelona also dreams of a beautiful course in the King’s Cup.
Villarreal have not won since five Liga days.
Yellow Submarine is ranked seventh.
