This afternoon Osasuna and Villarreal are playing their last match of the year 2011, before Christmas.
The match starts at 18.00 and the situation of both teams are completely different if we have a back look to the beginning of November. At that time, Osasuna's way of playing was full of doubts and their supporters were very angry with Mendilibar after some comments about some grateful for a hatred team like Athletic de Bilbao.
But now, Osasuna have leaded four consecutive games without losing and they are in UEFA positions. On the other hand, Villarreal could finish this year 2011 in Second Division positions if they lose at EL SADAR.
After the victory in Almeria in the Copa del Rey competition, Mendilibar can't use Sola, Rubén, Marc Bertrán, Jon Echaide or Masoud. But Sergio, Damià, Nekounam and Satrustegui are back to the team.
Garrido, Villarreal coach, could be on the bench for his last time if they do not get any point from Osasuna stadium. There is a saying: "Comer el turrón en Navidad en el banquillo", and that could be his case.
How strange for both teams!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! GORA OSASUNA! AUPA ROJILLOS!
