Villarreal hosts FC Copenhagen on Wednesday in a battle between teams fighting for their Champions League lives.
It’s been a dismal European campaign for the Yellow Submarine, who have just one point from their first five matches.
A home draw with Juventus represents Villarreal’s only point, with Marcelino’s side losing to Tottenham, Manchester City, FC Pafos and Borussia Dortmund.
But in La Liga it’s been a completely different story. Villarreal sits in third place in the domestic table with 35 points from its first 15 matches. If it wins the game in hand it has over Barcelona and Real Madrid, Villarreal would be just two points off first place.

Copenhagen picked up a huge 3-2 win over Kairat last time out, boosting its chances of reaching the knockout phase.
The Danish side is in 30th place, but just two points out of the 24th spot that would secure a place in the next round of the competition.
