The team led by the Asturian coach has gone three away games without a win. Their last triumph away from the Estadio de la Cerámica was against Levante (0-1) on February 18 in a postponed match. Since then, Villarreal has recorded a balance of two losses and one draw, conceding six goals and scoring only two.

During this period, the team suffered a heavy defeat against Barcelona (4-1), drew against Alavés (1-1), and lost to Girona (1-0). This run of three away games without a win is not the first time it has occurred since Marcelino took charge in the middle of the 2023-2024 season.

In fact, last February, Villarreal also went three matches without a victory: against Betis (2-0), Osasuna (2-2), and Getafe (2-1). However, this current streak is far from his worst run at the helm of the team, which occurred during his first spell on the 'Yellow Submarine' bench in the 2014-2015 season.

On that occasion, Villarreal went eleven matches without a win between matchdays 17 and 38, with a record of three losses and eight draws, a situation that Marcelino hopes not to repeat in this second stint at the club.
