We have a full round of fixtures to look forward to in the Spanish La Liga this weekend on Tuesday the 26th of October Villarreal welcome Cádiz to the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Prior to the meeting between Getafe and Celta Vigo on Monday night, Villarreal find themselves in 13th place on 11 points and Cádiz are in 17th place on 7 points.

Villarreal come into the match on the back of a 2-1 loss at Athletic Bilbao on the weekend. Athletic Bilbao took the lead early in the game but Villarreal equalised before half time.
However, it was Athletic Bilbao we came out in the second half to score the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 77th minute.
That result means Villarreal have won only 3 of their last 13 games in all competitions, which is each of their competitive fixtures this season.
They have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, with the defeats coming at Manchester United in the Champions League and at home against Osasuna in La Liga plus the recent defeat at Athletic Bilbao.
Home form in La Liga shows Villarreal are difficult to beat and they are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 home league games.
Trends show over 2.5 goals have been scored in 7 of their last 10 La Liga matches at the Estadio de la Cerámica but Villarreal have managed to keep 3 clean sheets in their last 5 home league fixtures.
Cádiz make the trip to the Estadio de la Cerámica having lost 2-0 at home against Alaves on the weekend. It was a disappointing result against a team currently in the relegation zone and that result means Cádiz have failed to win any of their last 5 matches.
In fact, they have recorded only one victory in their 10 league matches this season and that came away against Celta Vigo back in September.
Since the victory at Celta Vigo, Cádiz have picked up only 2 points from a possible 15. They held both Barcelona and Valencia to 0-0 draws at home and in isolation, they are both satisfactory results.
However, Cádiz really need to begin winning matches otherwise they are going to be sucked into the relegation zone.
Trends show Cádiz have won 1 of their last 6 away league games. Both teams have scored in 5 of their last 6 La Liga matches on the road.
Team news and Villarreal have three players unavailable, with Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth, and Boulaye Dia all on the treatment table.
Cádiz have just one injury concern and Jon Ander Garrido will miss out due to a tendon issue.
Cádiz are in poor form and this game provides a good opportunity for Villarreal to pick up a win. The Yellow Submarine are capable of keeping a clean sheet in this match and should pick up the victory without conceding a goal.
