Villareal vs Liverpool
Villarreal
Villarreal will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-1 La Liga losing effort in their last game against Alaves.
In that match, Villarreal managed 67% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for Villarreal was Samuel Chukwueze (47'). For their opponents, Alaves got 11 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Laguardia (4') and Gonzalo Escalante (31') scored for Alaves.
It has been seldom in recent times that Villarreal haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Villarreal have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 7 goals during that time. Even so, we must now wait to see whether that trend shall continue on here in this game.
Liverpool
Liverpool come into this game after a 0-1 Premier League win with the defeat of Newcastle United in their most recent fixture.
In that match, Liverpool had 65% possession and 24 shots at goal with 10 on target. The only player to score for Liverpool was Naby Keïta (19'). Newcastle United got 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target.
Over the course of their last half-dozen clashes, Liverpool have amassed a tally of 15 goals. Liverpool have also scored on each one of those occasions. During that period, they have seen 5 goals scored by their opponents.
Prediction
Our feeling is that Villarreal have it within them to put one past this Liverpool lineup, although one goal might not quite be good enough.
Therefore, we’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for Liverpool after 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.
