La Liga: Villarreal aims to build momentum against Girona

Villarreal returns to its home fans this Sunday with the ambition of building on its strong start to La Liga.

Facing Girona, who lost their opening match (1-3 against Rayo Vallecano), the Yellow Submarine is targeting a second straight win despite several absences, most notably Gerard Moreno. Coach Marcelino will be counting on his marquee signing, Portuguese midfielder Renato Veiga, to bring balance to the squad.

The Castellón side displayed impressive defensive solidity and attacking efficiency in their opening win, and now hope to continue with their trademark style—dominating possession and surging down the flanks.

On the other side, Michel’s Girona arrive with wounded pride. After being reduced to ten men against Rayo, the Catalan club is determined to respond with greater discipline and sharper counter-attacks.
