Villarreal VS Alaves Alavés' lineup issues are concentrated in the defense and midfield. The suspension of the main defender Garcés and the suspension of midfielder Benavidez due to accumulated yellow cards will lead to a sharp increase in the team's defensive rotation pressure. In the offensive end, the team relies heavily on wing breakthroughs. The speed of Carlos Vicente and the holding - up play ability of Kike are the main threats. However, the overall offensive efficiency is low, with only 0.83 goals per game on average, making it difficult to exert continuous pressure on strong opponents. Villarreal mainly plays in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 formation. They rely on quick passing in the midfield and speed on the flanks to launch counter - attacks. When playing at home, they take advantage of the enthusiastic home crowd to implement a high - pressing strategy, aiming to restrict Alavés' ball - playing from the back. Villarreal currently sits in the 3rd place in La Liga with 12 wins, 2

The team's overall offensive ability has been quite good recently, basically scoring goals in every game. Alavés has won 4, drawn 1 and lost 5 in the last 10 games. The team's recent form has been quite excellent. The key to the significant improvement lies in the increasingly outstanding performance of the team's defense. Villarreal has a decent attacking power. However, Alavés' defense has improved to some extent. Although Alavés has a poor goal - scoring ability and concedes many goals, the gap between the two teams is not very large. Moreover, in the 6 home games, Alavés' record of 4 wins and 2 losses is quite impressive. The number of goals conceded also reflects the gap in strength between the two teams. The performance at both ends of the pitch is not much different from that away from home. It's not that the team has a poor record, but just didn't play well in recent games. So

Villarreal VS Alaves Villarreal CF ended 2025 with three consecutive defeats in all competitions. They achieved a classic victory in their first match of 2026, as they defeated the strong Elche 3-1 away with only a 20% possession rate. In this match, several players are still unavailable, including Navarro, who was injured in the previous game, and Gui and Ahormak, who are participating in the Africa Cup of Nations. Alavés has lost 5 out of their last 6 league matches, so their form is not good. However, it's worth noting that they have maintained good performance against Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid this season, showing strong abilities in tough games. Due to the avoidance clause and injuries, they are short of some key players and hope to score from set - pieces. Villarreal has been extremely consistent in the league. They've given up on the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, treating the season as if it only has 38 league games. Their bench strength is also exce
