The team led by Marcelino García Toral returns home for another midweek match. After a hard-fought draw in their visit to Son Moix against RCD Mallorca (1-1), the 'groguets' are in excellent form, with five consecutive matches without defeat, accumulating three victories and two draws.

With three matchdays remaining in the championship, Villarreal CF is deeply involved in the fight for third place with Atlético de Madrid. With nine points still in play, Marcelino's team holds a six-point advantage over the 'rojiblancos', their main pursuers. A victory against the 'Hispalenses' would bring them closer to their goal, depending on what Cholo Simeone's team does in their match against Osasuna.

Home strength is one of the defining factors for Villarreal in this part of the season. The Yellow Submarine has turned La Cerámica into a very difficult ground for visiting teams. The 'groguets' have secured all three points in their last six home matches and have not suffered a defeat at their stadium since last January. With confidence high and the unconditional support of their fans, the objective is to maintain this streak to continue adding joy in the final stretch of the competition.
