Match Facts:
Villarreal CF (4th, 36 points):
- The team from Castellon are enjoying their best run of form this season after five consecutive league victories, and one more win would see them equal their best ever first half of a Liga BBVA campaign.
- Despite the poor run of Sporting, Marcelino Garcia Toral has warned his players to face the match with prudence and concentration: "We have had similar experiences against teams that were down near the foot of the table and we have not won."
- Denis Suarez and Sporting's Alen Halilovc are two of the most exciting young players in Liga BBVA and both teams look to their talents to open up defences.

R. Sporting (18th, 15 points):
- Sporting slipped into relegation places after losing 2-1 at home to Getafe CF last weekend, a seventh consecutive defeat for the team from Gijon.
- In addition to the points, Abelardo's target is to break the statistics, which is in favor for the Yellow team, as they have never lost at their stadium in the four visits of Sporting. Three wins and a draw are the balance of Villarreal at El Madrigal in the Liga BBVA. Moreover, in these four games, the Castellón team have scored seven goals, while the Rojiblancos have scored two.
What's on in Villarreal on game day?
Enjoy the impressive cultural heritage of the picturesque towns of medieval atmosphere in the Maestrazgo area, as evidenced by the monuments of Morella, streets of Mirambel, Cantavieja and Iglesuela del Cid. Castles, Gothic and Baroque churches, chapels, fortified farmhouses, palaces, mansions, squares and bridges make up some places with a very definite identity, where knightly orders like the Templars used to live. All this and more is the Maestrazgo.
