Prediction: 1-0
Osasuna
Villarreal will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Espanyol when they take on Osasuna in yet another home fixture. The Yellow Submarine are eager to stay in the Champions League berth and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash. The good news for the hosts is that defender Eric Bailly is back from suspension, but forward Gerard Moreno remains doubtful and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Spanish top flight. Osasuna are eyeing a spot in European competitions as well, but with Villarreal turning their Estadio de la Ceramica into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Defender Alejandero Catena serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while both Raul Garcia and Jon Moncayola remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Nicolas Pépé):
Born in France to parents of Ivorian descent, Nicolas Pepe became a full Ivory Coast international in 2016. In a symbolic twist of events, Pepe was handed his Ivory Coast debut in a goalless draw against his birth nation France days after receiving his first-ever call-up.
Pepe began his career in the lower leagues in Poitiers in 2012, before moving to Angers a year later. Having proven his qualities in the second-string side, Pepe was instated in Angers’ first team in 2013. Four years later – which included a season-long loan spell at Orleans – Nicolas Pepe was transferred to Lille. Les Dogues beat several sides to the signature of this pacey winger who is no stranger to scoring goals. Quick with his feet, Pepe can be deployed on the right wing and as a centre-forward.
The Ivory Coast international is unpredictable in his movement and not easy to keep an eye on, especially because of his powerful left foot.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):
Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
