Aston Villa will finish their preseason with a friendly against Villarreal at El Madrigal, as both teams gear up for the 2025-26 Premier League season after busy preparations.
Team Analysis:
Aston Villa aims to build on a strong previous season after finishing sixth and making deep cup runs. They kept most key players and added reinforcements, showing promising form in preseason, including a win over Roma.
Next, they face Villarreal, coached by Marcelino, who are preparing for the Champions League after a solid La Liga finish. Villarreal’s preseason featured mixed results against European and English teams, including a notable win over Arsenal, as they seek a final confidence boost before their league opener.
Player Situation:
Aston Villa is expected to field a strong lineup despite ongoing transfer rumors around key players like Ollie Watkins and John McGinn. Manager Unai Emery may also rotate some fringe players. Injuries are limited, with only Ross Barkley and Andres Garcia sidelined. Villarreal faces more fitness challenges, losing key players to injuries and departures, but have brought in new defenders Rafa Marin and Santiago Mourino to strengthen their backline.
Result Prediction:
Both teams showed strong form recently and are similarly fit, but with Aston Villa playing twice this weekend, Villarreal is likely to win a close match at home.
Predicted Result: Villarreal 1-2 Aston Villa.
