This match is a key date in the calendar for the yellow team, which faces a period of high competitive demand during the month of October. Before traveling to the capital of the Turia, the team led by Iñigo Pérez must balance their LaLiga commitments with their participation in the Champions League.
Villarreal CF's schedule includes difficult away games such as the visit to the Santiago Bernabéu to play against Real Madrid on October 10, and the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on the 20th. Between these matches, the team will also host Elche CF at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
In total, the yellow squad will play five matches in just two weeks, closing this intense cycle with the derby at Mestalla. The match is one of the most anticipated by the fans, who will be able to travel to support their team in one of the most significant away games of the season.
