Villarreal - Valencia

Match date: 22/02-21:00

Villarreal CF

After their narrow victory in the postponed match against Levante at the Ciutat de Valencia, Villarreal remain in third place, ahead of Atlético de Madrid and only behind Madrid and Barcelona. The Submarine's season in LaLiga has been spectacular, in stark contrast to the almost inexplicable poor performances in the Champions and Copa del Rey.

With barely any time to celebrate the victory in a derby, another derby awaits, this time at La Cerámica and with Valencia as the visiting team. Marcelino's side will try to continue the same form in the league, again dealing with numerous absences. Alongside the long-term injured players Foyth, Logan Costa, and Pau Cabanes, we must add Alfon, Kambwala, and Gerard Moreno, who are still unavailable following their respective physical issues. Additionally, the participation of Parejo remains uncertain due to muscular discomfort, and the latest to drop out is Rafa Marín, who finished the match against Levante with a twisted ankle.

Thus, in the yellow submarine lineup, the return of Renato Veiga and Pedraza to the defense is expected, while Comesaña, Thomas, and Gueye would compete for the two central midfield spots if Parejo does not make it. On the wing, it seems Buchanan will occupy the right side after not starting on Wednesday, and up front, the doubt is the possible inclusion of Oluwaseyi, although the Georgian Mikautadze is in great form.

Valencia CF

Valencia CF arrives at La Cerámica with confidence after beating Levante in the Valencian derby. Corberán’s team, who have signed Renzo Saravia for right back though he will not be available for this match, have some significant absences such as Diego López, Foulquier, Agirrezabala, and Diakhaby due to injury. However, the coach recovers Thierry, who had minor muscular discomfort, and Danjuma, who is doubtful but might be called up. 

Taking this into account, the lineup would be: Dimitrievski, Gayà, Copete, Tárrega or Cömert, Unai Núñez, Pepelu, Ugrinic or Guerra, Rioja, Ramazani, Beltrán, and Hugo Duro or Sadiq.
