THE PREDICTION

Unai Emery’s spell as Villarreal manager has been generally good but there are some key months that have been let down by overly conservative tactics. UEFA Europa League winners last season and reaching the knockouts of the UEFA Champions League this season are achievements that have disguised the fact they should be realistically properly challenging for the top four. They now come up against an Alaves side that started the season really poorly but they have since been extremely stubborn. The visitors will think they can control this game and lead it to being a low-scoring encounter between the two.
