"Villarreal have enjoyed a strong league campaign to date, collecting 55 points from 28 matches thanks to a record of 17 wins, four draws and seven defeats. That return has placed Marcelino's side firmly in fourth position, two points behind Atlético Madrid and a comfortable 11 points clear of fifth‑placed Real Betis, leaving them well‑positioned in the battle for Champions League football."
"Villarreal's form at La Cerámica has been particularly impressive throughout the season. They have amassed 34 points from 14 home league matches, winning 11 of those games and consistently asserting themselves in front of their own supporters."
"Real Sociedad sit seventh, only three points behind sixth‑placed Celta Vigo as the race for continental qualification intensifies. Earlier this season, Villarreal edged Real Sociedad 3-2 in the reverse fixture, although the corresponding meeting last term ended in a 2-2 draw, underlining how closely contested this matchup has been in recent years."
