Villarreal vs Bayern Munich: prediction for the Champions League fixture
Villarreal and Bayern Munich lock horns in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal match. What to expect from this game? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Villarreal
SpainVillarreal recorded three victories and one draw at the Champions League group stage, which was enough to qualify for the playoffs from the second place in Group F. In the last 16, the Yellow Submarinewere set to play Juventus. After a 1:1 draw in the first leg, Villarreal crushed Juve 3:0, booking their ticket to the quarterfinals.
To everyone's surprise, the Valencians were knocked out of Copa Del Rey by Sporting Gijon (1:2). Unai Emery's side hasn't been very successful in La Liga, either. Currently, the team is in 7th place in the standings with 45 points from 12 wins and 9 draws. After a slender victory over Celta Vigo (1:0), Villarreal lost to Cadiz (0:1) and Levante (0:2).
Today Villarreal will be without Moreno and Chukwueze.
Bayern Munich
GermanyBayern Munich won all six of their group games in the current Champions League and scored a total of 23 goals against Barcelona, Benfica and Dynamo Kyiv. The Bavariansreached the last eight following their 8:2 win on aggregate over RB Salzburg. After a 1:1 draw in the first leg, Bayern Munich thrashed the Red Bulls with a score of 7:1 at home.
Julian Nagelsmann's side is comfortably leading the Bundesliga standings with 66 points from 28 games. The team has registered 85 goals in the current season and also can boast the best defense in the league. In the last two matches, Bayern defeated Union Berlin (4:0) and Freiburg (4:1).
