Command Analysis
Villarreal
SpainCurrent champions of the Europa League aren't having a very good season so far. After the first 11 rounds of La Liga, the Yellow Submarine are 13th with 12 points from 2 victories and 6 draws. Villarreal had a series of successes, but then mounted a winless streak: they drew with Cadiz (3:3), and lost three games in a row against Osasuna (1:2), Athletic (1:2), and Valencia (0:2).
In the Champions League,Unai Emeri's charges picked one point in the game against Atalanta (2:2), suffered a defeat to Manchester United (1:2), and easily beat Young Boys (4:1). Villarreal have thus earned 4 points and are 2nd in their group, which means they still have a good chance of qualifying for the playoffs - but so do all of their opponents, too.
Foyth and Moreno won't be available for the game against Young Boys.

Tip and bets
Young Boys had a powerful start in the Champions League, but quickly burned out and lost focus. Villarreal do not look convincing at all this season, but we will give them the benefit of the doubt. The Yellow Submarine are a stronger team on paper, they have more experience, and should be able to get the better of Young Boys here.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) to Villarreal
The visitors have too many injury concerns, so they will definitely struggle to deliver a solid performance. We predict a confident victory by a margin of two goals for Unai Emeri's side.
Second bet - Villarreal to win by 2 goals
