Sevilla vs Villarreal preview



Posted Saturday, October 25, 2014 by PA

A trip to high-flying Sevilla makes securing a fifth successive win look a tough ask for Villarreal, although Giovani dos Santos is confident of continuing their fine run this weekend.

Villarreal head to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium on Sunday sitting sixth in the Primera Division after an impressive start to the campaign.

Thursday's Europa League victory against Zurich extended their winning run to a fourth successive match in all competitions, putting Dos Santos in confident mood ahead of the trip to second-placed Andalusians.

"The confidence to score goals is always good - I want to score, but the important thing is the team," he said after coming off the bench to score in the 4-1 win. "I always say it and we are in a great spell.

"I'm getting my confidence back and every day I feel better. Here we all get along, it's healthy competition, and it's good to know that the four strikers are scoring goals.

"We have many competitions this season and strikers know that they have keep the team on track with our goals."

One-club man Bruno Soriano echoed his team-mate's comments ahead of the Sevilla encounter.

"The team works well and consistently," Soriano said. "Since the beginning of the season and even pre-season we have seen it.

"We have a very good squad and the coach knows it. Having the squad that we have is very important for us."

Like Villarreal, Unai Emery's Sevilla sit atop their Europa League group but head into Sunday's match on the back of a frustrating 0-0 draw at Standard Liege.

The holders were unable to break down their Belgian hosts and striker Kevin Gameiro knows they need to be more ruthless in front of goal this weekend.

"We lacked a little efficiency up front," the Frenchman said.

"We had two or three great chances that we could have put in, but we weren't able to and Standard nearly punished us with a chance they missed at the end."
