Villarreal possible starting lineup: Luiz Junior; Navarro, Foyth, Costa, S Cardona; Pepe, Comesana, Parejo, Baena; Perez, Barry

In terms of predicted lineups, Girona is likely to adopt a 4-3-3 formation that emphasizes width and speed on the flanks. Villarreal may counter with a 4-2-3-1 setup designed to bolster midfield control while providing support for their forwards. This tactical battle will be crucial in determining the match's outcome.

Villarreal, needing wins to stay in the top five, are likely to narrowly defeat Girona on Saturday, given Girona's seven home league losses this season.While Girona have shown flashes of brilliance at times, their inconsistency, particularly at home, has been their undoing. Villarreal, on the other hand, are a seasoned outfit with a clear objective and the quality to achieve it. Expect a tight affair, possibly decided by a single goal, with Villarreal's experience proving the difference in the end. The Yellow Submarine know what's at stake and should have the edge in this crucial La Liga encounter.
