Betting Prediction:
Villareal won their last six games at home in the Europa League and is known as one of the best teams in the Primera when it comes to matches at home. Their opponent, however, shows a good game and is unbeaten in the Europa League as a guest, so we expected a very close match. Liverpool scored in their last two away matches in the tournament against Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, while the hosts have scored in 21 consecutive home games in the Europa League, so expect goals from both teams.
