Villarreal vs Lyon Stats
Villarreal return to play at home after two consecutive away games, which should not be too pleased with the club’s performance as they have won only one win in the last five games and now have not won four games since three straight losses in this period. At least the team returned to score in the last round of the Spanish Championship – where it occupies the sixth position – when drawing away from home with Espanyol. However, their defeat in the first game of the UEFA Europa League 16-game against Lyon will be somewhat difficult to reverse, although the away goal may be important. For this duel, the coach is expected to set up the team in 4-3-1-2, with Raba standing out for the right side.

The away team have a 2-goal lead in this second-leg game but have conceded 1 home goal in the first leg. This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, because in the last 30 games it registers 10 wins, 1 tie and 4 losses as a visitor; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. The team arrives at this meeting after a draw with Lille for (2-2). In the last 10 matches played for all competitions, Olympique Lyonnais won 6, drew 1 and lost 3. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 games but their attack has scored regularly, having scored goals in 6 of the last 7 games for this competition.

Lyon have made a good run this season as they are in fourth place in the French Championship, but they do not have one of their best moments, having accumulated three defeats in the last six games. In their last showdown, for the national championship, the team played a balanced game against Lille, and even having opened 0x2 in the first leg, allowed the home side to draw. His last victory was just against Villarreal, by the Europa League, where he was able to take advantage of the home factor to build a good advantage and thus to direct the qualification for the round of 16. The 4-2-3-1 should be the tactical system used in this duel, which will not have the presence of left-back Fernando Marcal, due to suspension.
