Spartak Moscow vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips

The second match day of the Europa League group stage is on Thursday and we take a look at the group G, where surprisingly Rapid Wien took over the league standings. On the other hand, Spartak Moscow and Villarreal, who are favorites to win the group, have placed themselves at the bottom of the table, which was certainly not planned. In particular, the Spaniards had made on the first matchday with a guarantee more than draw against the Glasgow Rangers.

In the Otkrytiye Arena of Moscow, the Spaniards on Thursday (04.10.2018, 21:00 clock) in any case, the favorite again, which is likely to be due among other things to the recent mixed performances of the Russians. We go with the bookmakers here and recommend for the game Spartak Moscow – Villarreal a tip on the victory of the Spaniards, secure this in the event of a draw but from.

Spartak Moscow:

The title defense in the Russian Premier League Spartak Moscow succeeded in the last season not, but enough for the third place at least for the Champions League qualification. Here, the team of chief coach Massimo Carrera in the third round against the Greek representative PAOK Saloniki entered the competition and was able to force the 2: 3 away defeat with the goalless draw in front of home crowd no turnaround. In the Europa League, for the Spartak was qualified after the elimination in the premier class, went it two weeks ago in the first group match equal with a not undeserved 0: 2 defeat against Rapid Vienna on.

Also in the Premier League it was last after a good start to the season increasingly downhill. For from the last three league games against Akhmat Grozny (1: 2), CSKA Moscow (1: 1) and FK Rostov (0: 1) brought the popular team – as Spartak Moscow is also called – only one point, which is also the connection to the table top was lost for the time being. One of the reasons for the recent performance slump is certainly the offensive, which unlike the defensive does not currently accomplish much (goal difference 3: 6).

Villarreal:

The Villarreal CF has been one of Spain’s top teams for a number of years and has been able to qualify regularly for the European Cup. Also in the last year the jump succeeded on the fifth place, which entitles directly to the participation in the Europa League group phase. Here, the ‘Yellow Submarine’ hit the Glasgow Rangers two weeks ago in the first group match at home in Estadio de la Ceramica. Although the Spaniards were able to earn a well-deserved two-goal deficit, the match ended with an unexpected 2-2 draw.

Also in La Liga the start of the season was different than expected. After a prelude with only one point from the first three games was recently recorded a significant increase in performance. As CD Leganes (1-0) and Athletic Bilbao (3-0) were beaten and against Valencia, it was enough for a goalless draw. Only the dress rehearsal last weekend against Real Valladolid was lost 0-1, although the rotation was limited. Looking at the previous games, it is noticeable that the defensive is predominantly stable and does not allow too much. Just as with the upcoming opponents, the offense with seven goals from the previous eight competitive matches clearly depends on the expectations – especially when the clear runaway against Bilbao is once hidden.
