* Villarreal have the third best home record in La Liga bettered only by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
* The 'yellow submarine' have been in the top four throughout the season, except the first three weeks.
* Garrido has described the clash with Real Zaragoza as his side's "most important game of the season'' as their hopes of a third place are extinguished and the 4th place not yet secure.
* Last week’s 5-0 drubbing by Valencia was their worst defeat in La Liga away from home.
* Real Zaragoza have won just once on the road. This is the worst away record in La Liga.
* Javier Aguirre's men picked up some much needed points against Getafe in last match, although this was not enough to lift them out of relegation zone.
* In their last five games against Villarreal, the Aragon based side have won just one game.
* The matches between these two teams tend to be a high scoring affair with 22 goals scored in last five games.
LAST MEETING
November 27, 2010: Real Zaragoza 0-3 Villrreal
Villarreal had beaten Real Zaragoza comprehensively courtesy of a virtuoso performance by Cazorla who scored one goal and setup another. Early strikes by Senna and Cazorla meant that Zaragoza never recovered and Nilmar's goal in the second half only served as an icing on top of cake.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Villarreal: Diego Lopez; Musacchio, Capdevilla, Mario MartÃnez, Marchena; Bruno Soriano, Cazorla, Valero, Rubén; Rossi, Nilmar
Real Zaragoza: Doblas; Paulo Da Silva, Obradovic, Lanzaro, Diogo; Gabi, Ponzio, Herrera, Jarosik, Bertolo; Uche
Prediction
Real Zaragoza are the worst travellers in La Liga and they have lost at 'El Madrigal' in their last three visits there. On the other side, Villarreal are smarting from the 5-0 humiliation of last weekend and need this win to put some distance between them and the chasing pack.
All this points to healthy win for the "yellow submarine".
Villarreal 3-0 Zaragoza
