Previous meetings

Liverpool and Villarreal have met four times, with two of those fixtures coming in the Champions League and two in the Europa League.

Liverpool have won three of those encounters, while Villarreal have recorded one victory. The English side have scored eight goals across the meetings, compared with three for the Spanish club.

Recent form

Liverpool arrive after successive wins in two competitions. They recorded a 3-6 victory against LASK in the Champions League before beating Brentford 1-2 in the league.

The Reds have been helped by an outstanding run of form from Bradley Barcola and will approach the match with confidence, although injuries remain a concern.

Villarreal’s recent results have been less consistent. The Spanish side produced an impressive 3-1 Champions League win against Naples, but were then held to a goalless draw at home by Elche in LaLiga.

At Anfield, Liverpool will aim to control the tempo through their attacking intensity and pressing. Villarreal are capable of posing a threat on the counter-attack, however, and the visitors have the potential to make the match an open contest.

Liverpool are considered to have the advantage because of their collective strength and experience in major matches. Africafoot’s prediction is a 4-2 victory for Liverpool.

The betting company 1xbet lists Liverpool as the favourites at 1.42. A draw is priced at 4.50, while a Villarreal win is available at 5.50.
