Anderlecht vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday from 17:45, Anderlecht from Belgium will play at home against Villarreal from Spain, in a match that is part of the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa Conference League final. The two teams will meet for the first time this evening and the double leg is expected to be quite interesting, the qualification being open for both teams.
Anderlecht:
Anderlecht reached the round of 16 after playing in the round of 16, because it only took 2nd place in the qualification group. In the previous round, Anderlecht had a rather difficult double leg in the company of Ludogorets from Bulgaria, in the round being defeated 1-0, and in the return leg, the score of 2-1 was not enough, requiring shots from 11m, where Anderlecht prevailed and qualified further. Before this match, Anderlecht lost in the championship 1-0 away to Gent and has a very poor season, occupying only 10th place at the moment with 36 points and risks missing the European cups next season.
Villarreal:
On the other side, for Villarreal it will be the first European game this year, after obtaining the direct qualification in the eighth round of the Europa Conference League, occupying the first place in group C, which also included Lech Poznan, Hapoel Beer Sheva and Austria Vienna. Four victories, a draw and a defeat were the results achieved by Villarreal in the six matches played. Villarreal comes after two consecutive victories in LaLiga, 2-1 at home against Getafe and 1-0 in the last round against Almeria away, and this after having had a black series of four consecutive defeats in the championship. Villarreal is in 6th place in LaLiga with 37 points.
