Villarreal are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this week as they lock horns with Cadiz on Tuesday. Both teams have struggled so far this season and will need to win this game.
Cadiz are in 17th place in the La Liga standings and could find themselves in a relegation battle in the coming months. The away side suffered a 2-0 defeat against Deportivo Alaves over the weekend and cannot afford another poor result in this match.
Villarreal, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Yellow Submarines slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Athletic Bilbao in their previous game and will want to bounce back on Tuesday.
