Villarreal Team News
Internally, things are not great for the Spaniards. Villarreal lost ground in the fight for the European Cups, after being defeated in the last two stages of La Liga, but it wants to get its revenge in the Europa League, where it has two more steps to do until winning the trophy. In the semifinals he will meet Arsenal, a team that has a huge name, but has not convinced anyone this season.
The “yellow submarine” has only one absence for Thursday’s confrontation: Vicente Iborra is injured and will not be part of Unai Emery’s team. Estupinan has recovered, but will not be part of the first 11. Villarreal’s coach has remained faithful to the 4-4-2 system and is expected to start in the same formula on Thursday. Bacca and Moreno will form the pair in the offensive, while Alcacer will take the bench, according to the latest information. With the two strikers, Villarreal can wreak havoc on Mikel Arteta’s weak defense. Villarreal is a spectacular, offensive team, but it has problems in defense, which has often stood out this season.
Arsenal Team News
On the other hand, Arsenal have been a disappointment this season, which they hope to save with a European trophy. The “Gunners” are on the 10th place in the Premier League, without chances at the European Cups, and they hope that this was the transition to a future successful season. The management still has patience with Mikel Arteta, who could shut their opponents’ mouths with a trophy won.
The move to Villarreal is extremely difficult, especially given that Arsenal cannot rely on the “mouths of fire” of Aubameyang and Lacazette, both injured. The Iberian manager of “Tunarilor” also has problems in the defensive department, where he does not have David Luiz and Tierney at his disposal. Villarreal and Arsenal give the first battle of the war for the Europa League final on Thursday night, where we could have a 100% English duel: in the other semifinal, Manchester United and Roma meet.
