Villarreal vs Manchester United: The Red Devils have plenty of problems

Villarreal will host Manchester United at the Ceramica stadium in Villarreal. We will tell you in what conditions the opponents are approaching the game and advise on a few betting options.

Essentially, this matchup is for first place in the Group F table. If Villarreal manage to outplay their clear-cut rival, there will be no problem with reaching the play-offs, but otherwise, they could go down to the third position as third-placed Atalanta breathe down their backs. Villarreal were able to break their three-match winless streak last season thanks to a 2-0 win over lowly Young Boys, followed by a 1-0 win over Championship side Getafe and then a 1-1 draw with Celta.

Manchester United are terrible in defence. In their last match, United faced what could be described as an EPL underdog, Watford. It would seem that such a weak club should be beaten and move up the standings with three points earned, but no. The Red Devils conceded four goals from the Hornets, with one missed penalty against De Gea. As you might have guessed, MJ lost by a score of 1-4.

As for the Champions League group stage, there have been no major problems so far. Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side sit in first place with the same number of points as Villarreal (7). If the team continues to play as poorly as Watford in this match, they risk missing out on the play-offs.

After the match against Watford, only ardent Red Devils fans will dare to bet on them. We don’t belong to them. Villarreal show a more or less balanced game in attack and defence. Also, the team will be playing in their stadium, where they have no right to lose. We think that the home wall factor will help Villarreal get at least one point.
