Betting on Villarreal
Four consecutive wins to start the group stage were enough for Villarreal to top Group C. However, their results since then have been questionable, drawing 2-2 against Hapoel Beer Sheva, losing 3-0 to Lech Poznan and drawing 1-1 against Anderlecht in the first leg thanks to a Manu Trigueros goal.
That result was repeated on the last La Liga matchday, when the Yellow Submarine drew by the same scoreline at this stadium over the weekend against Real Betis, and thus extending their unbeaten streak to four matches with two wins and two draws.
Similarly, Villarreal is undefeated at home in this Conference League, and it is worth noting its high scoring average in the process, scoring an average of 3.75 goals per game.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Pepe Reina; Juan Foyth, Raúl Albiol, Pau Torres, Alfonso Pedraza; Dani Parejo, Francis Coquelin, Manu Trigueros; Samuel Chukwuezem Gerard Moreno, Yeremi Pino.
Betting on Anderlecht
Anderlecht’s old glory days seem to be well behind them, with the team struggling to stay in the Conference League places in their domestic league, so with the uncertainty of whether they will play in this tournament next season they will want to extend this continental campaign as long as they can.
A 1-1 draw in Belgium was a positive result for them, and they followed that up with a 2-0 win over Cercle Brugge on the weekend, but they must now play away, where they have not won in their last three games, including a 1-0 loss to Ludogorets in the last playoff round.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Bart Verbruggen; Michael Murillo, Zeno Debast, Jan Vertonghen, Killian Sardella; Kristian Arnstad, Amadou Diawara, Yari Verschaeren; Anders Dreyer, Islam Slimani, Mario Stroykens.
JefeBet Prediction
Sadly, this looks to be the end of the road for Anderlecht. Despite the 1-1 draw between the two clubs in the first leg, Villarreal has the home advantage in this competition, and it doesn’t look like this game will be the difference, even more taking into account Anderlecht’s recent poor results away from home.
The Yellow Submarine’s previous clash against a Belgian club at their home stadium was resolved with a 2-1 win, but we believe the difference could be even greater this time.
Prediction: Villarreal Asian Handicap (VIL 3 – AND 0)
