Villarreal to host Espanyol on Friday 29 before PSG test | OneFootball

Villarreal will host Espanyol at La Cerámica on Friday 29 at 21:00, setting up a pivotal week that ends with a Champions League night.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the fixture opens matchday 11 of LaLiga and comes six days after the derby at Mestalla against Valencia.

Choosing Friday helps Iñigo Pérez’s side, who gain an extra day to recover and prepare their next assignment.

On Tuesday three November, Villarreal will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. It will be the club’s first ever meeting with the Paris side. PSG are managed by Luis Enrique and feature stars including Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, Achraf Hakimi, João Neves and Ferran Torres.

After Espanyol, attention will shift to PSG, a continental heavyweight and the reigning double European champions. The schedule offers Villarreal a small advantage in a demanding week.
