Villarreal and Girona go head-to-head at the Estadi de la Ceràmica in round seven of the Spanish The league on Wednesday.
Pacheta’s men have won their last five games against the Red and white and will head into the midweek clash looking to extend this dominant run.
Villarreal failed to find their feet on Sunday when they were held to a somewhat disappointing 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas.
Pacheta’s side are currently winless in four of their last five matches across all competitions, claiming one draw and losing three, including a 2-0 defeat against Panathinaikos in their UEFA Europa League opener on September 21.
With seven points from their opening six La Liga matches, the Yellow Submarine are currently 12th in the league table, level on points with Osasuna and Getafe.
Elsewhere, Girona maintained their superb start to the new La Liga campaign as they picked up a resounding 5-3 victory over Mallorca at the weekend.
Michel’s men have now won their last five league matches since holding out for a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad in the league curtain-raiser on August 12.
With 16 points from a possible 18, Girona are currently second in the league standings, level on points with first-placed Barcelona.
