Prediction: 0-1
Villarreal
Osasuna will be looking to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Valencia when they take on Villarreal in the La Liga round 26. Los Rojillos have been struggling in front of goal of late, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while Ruben Pena faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Real Betis. Since Villarreal have been showing signs of improvement in March, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team. Midfielder Francis Coquelin is out of contention with injury, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Pamplona. In the first half of the season Villarreal recorded a routine 2-0 win over Osasuna.
