Match Facts:

Villarreal CF (5th, 48 pts)

- Villarreal have the meanest defence in the division, conceding only 20 goals in LaLiga so far this season.

SD Eibar (9th, 41 pts)

- The Basque outfit come into the match off the back of a slightly disappointing return of three points from a possible 12 (D3 L1).

-  The visitors have won the ball back in opposition territory more times than any other LaLiga Santander side so far this campaign (487).
