Match Preview

Villarreal are fifth in the La Liga table, a single point ahead of Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad in the fight for Europa League qualification. They are going through a very positive spell, winning three matches in a row before being beaten by Barcelona at Camp Nou. The 4-1 defeat doesn't do them justice, as Villarreal arguably deserved a point against the champions, as we can reveal in our Villarreal vs Deportivo La Coruna preview.

Deportivo La Coruna are 17th, five points ahead of Sporting Gijon in relegation zone with two matches to go. As they enjoy head-to-head advantage over Gijon, Deportivo only need a point to ensure La Liga survival. That is their goal in this fixture but it doesn’t mean we are convinced they will achieve it in our Villarreal vs Deportivo La Coruna predictions.
