Levante does not perhaps sound like a big club and they had a weakish start for the season, but they are attractive and very much in solid form as they have lost only 2 games in their last 15! Vs Barcelona, and tonight's opponent Villarreal away 4 weeks ago by 2-1. On that day Villarreal still had their most important player Gerard Moreno who he has been out since then, and it shows in result, especially in goals scored.

莱万特也许听起来不像一家大俱乐部，他们在赛季初表现不佳，但他们很有吸引力，并且在过去的15场比赛中只输了2场。输给巴塞罗那，和今晚的对手比利亚雷亚尔，在4周前以1-2的比分客场失利。在那一天，比利亚雷亚尔仍然拥有他们最重要的球员杰拉德·莫雷诺，他从那以后就一直缺席，这一点在结果中得到了体现，尤其是在进球方面。

Last 7 La Liga games have gone like this:

They havehad difficulties in killing the games vs weaker opponents, but their countering has been efficient. We should not look too closely into the last win away at Real Madrid as they played 11 v 10 for most of the game, but still they came from one goal behind and were rather impressive, especially their top man and club legend El Comandanta Morales on the left wing.

They have naturally also won their cup games, but the opponents have been relatively easy.

Today they have long-term absentees and midfielder De Frutos. In the educated guess for the lineup the returning star player Bardhi has been put on the bench, I hope to see some magic from him again tonight!

Villarreal are one of the better teams in La Liga, but it has been shocking to see how much they have relied in the attacking skills of Gerard Moreno! In his absence Villarreal are just a good team, no more, no less.

Villarreal have also had an easy path in the cup this far, and tonight one of these two bad cup performances will reach into semifinals, a rare achievement for both!

他们很难打败弱小的对手，但他们的反击是有效的。我们不应该太过关注上一场客场战胜皇家马德里的比赛，他们在比赛的大部分时间里都是11比10，但他们仍然落后一球，而且相当令人印象深刻，尤其是他们的顶级球员，俱乐部的传奇人物莫拉莱斯。

他们自然也赢得了他们的杯赛，但对手相对容易。

今天他们有长期缺阵的中场德弗鲁托斯。在有根据的阵容猜测中，回归的明星球员巴蒂已经被放到了替补席上，我希望今晚能再次看到他的出色发挥!

比利亚雷亚尔是西甲最好的球队之一，但是看到他们如此依赖杰拉德·莫雷诺的进攻技巧还是令人震惊的!在他缺阵期间，比利亚雷亚尔发挥平平，不好不坏。

比利亚雷亚尔在本届杯赛上的表现也很不错，本场比赛胜者将进入半决赛，这对双方来说都是罕见的成就!

In La Liga latest results we can see the decline in Villarreal's performances:

There is not much wrong to draw with Sociedad, but creating worth of 0.2 xG at home is worrying. Also the draws vs Granada and after a poor display at Huesca are mediocre results at best.

Tonight Gerard is on the bench, but after several week's absence he is unlikely to be risked - or to be in his top form.

今晚杰拉德会在替补席上，但是在缺席了几周之后，他不太可能处于最佳状态。

Local press expects these lineups:

And I expect a draw and penalties to decide this one out! 1-1

我希望平局和点球能决定胜负!比分参考1 - 1
