Villarreal vs Valencia Match Preview
Villarreal and Valencia will engage in a 5:00pm GMT (12:00pm EST) battle at El Madrigal on Sunday.

Soldado is one of Valencia's deadliest weapons this season.
This will be the day’s second fixture as Getafe vs Athletic Bilbao is set to take place two hours before. The excitement ahead of the action at El Madrigal is huge, and understandably so. Villarreal vs Valencia is mostly interesting because of what the 2011/12 La Liga standings reveal.
The Yellow Submarines are in a terrible situation. They picked up only three wins in 2011 and they now start the year 2012 in the relegation zone. Villarreal are precisely 18th on the table with 15 points like nineteenth-placed Sporting Gijon. Even minnows Rayo Vallecano and Granada seat above them.
Villarreal are urgently in need of a turnaround. Starting the league campaign with an emphatic 5-0 defeat to Barcelona was in fact the sign of a miserable run this season.
However, can they make something of their home advantage against Valencia? All of the Yellow Submarines’ victories in La Liga this season took place at El Madrigal.
Well, Villarreal are without a win since beating Real Betis 1-0 on November 19 and Valencia are poised to sink them deeper in the sea of troubles.
Los Che are third in La Liga. Victory today will see them open the gap against fourth-placed Levante to 6 points. They would also be only a point behind Barcelona.
