Match preview
Not the start to life at Villarreal Quique Setién would’ve been hoping for.
El Submarino Amarillo have lost both La Liga matches under their new boss, 1-0 at Athletic Club before Sunday’s 2-0 reverse at the hands of Mallorca.
Just five shots on target, despite completing 1,120 passes across those two games, is peak Setién-ball.
So, Villarreal have now slipped down to eighth, desperately hoping to claim three points this time.
The same can be said of Espanyol, who are just one point clear of the relegation zone.
Blanquiazules, despite having Leandro Cabrera sent off earlier, held Atlético Madrid to a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
That’s now three successive draws for Diego Martinez’s team, who’ve sill only won twice this season.
So, this one could go either-way at RCDE Stadium.
