Marcelino predicts "difficult" Osasuna test

Villarreal boss Marcelino believes that Osasuna will pose his side "a lot of difficulties" in the La Liga meeting on Monday evening.

The Yellow Submarine were beaten 1-0 by Real Valladolid last weekend, but Marcelino is hopeful that his team will recover at El Madrigal.

"We had a bad game at Real Valladolid and now we'll be trying to have a good one," he told reporters at a press conference.

"They'll cause us a lot of difficulties, they only run the necessary risks and they're difficult to beat."

Victory for Villarreal would move them to within three points of fourth-place Athletic Bilbao.
