Where to Watch

The La Liga clash between Villarreal CF and RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is scheduled soon.

Villarreal host Espanyol in Round 11 after four unbeaten in five, including a 3-1 win over Napoli and a 3-1 win at Málaga. Espanyol come in with one win in their last five and only five goals scored in that run. The hosts are clear favourites, but Espanyol's away record — a 2-0 win at Osasuna and a 1-1 draw at Málaga — suggests they can make it uncomfortable.

Analysis

Villarreal arrive in strong shape: four unbeaten in five, with 3-1 wins over Napoli and Levante and a 3-1 win at Málaga, their only defeat a narrow 1-0 at Real Madrid. The one blemish is a goalless home draw with Elche on 17 October, which is a reminder that the Yellow Submarine can stall against a packed defence. Espanyol have won just once in their last five, losing 0-1 at home to Atlético and 1-3 at home to Elche, and have scored only five goals across those five games. Their better results have actually come on the road — a 2-0 win at Osasuna and a 1-1 draw at Málaga — so they are not an easy away side to break down, but they have conceded in four of the last five. With the table's leaders already 24 points from eight games and the chasing group on 19, Villarreal cannot afford dropped points at home. A 2-1 home win is the most logical outcome: Villarreal's attack has produced nine goals in five matches, while Espanyol have found the net in four of their last five.
