Anderlecht reached the 1/8 finals of the Conference League due to victory in the previous stage. There, the Belgian club met with Bulgarian Ludogorets. In the first leg, they unexpectedly failed 0:1, but in return, at home, they took the game to overtime (2:1). The opponents didn't decide the winner, but Anderlecht clinched a 3:0 win against Ludogorets in the shootout. Now they have a much more formidable opponent, which depends greatly on the first meeting at home.

Villarreal managed to avoid the Conference League knockout stage. The Yellow Submarine showed great soccer in the group stage and finished first in the quartet. They got four wins, a draw, and a loss in six rounds. Thus, with 13 points, Villarreal went straight to the last 16. They recently had four defeats in La Liga in a row but won the previous two games - 2:1 over Getafe and 2:0 over Almeria.

• In the three previous meetings with Anderlecht at home, goals were exchanged.
• Villarreal has achieved only one away win in the past four games.

Experts believe that Villarreal is the favorite of this match, and we agree. Last season the Spanish club did well in the international arena, and this season they will fight for the Conference League trophy. Anderlecht simply does not have such resources, and even getting to the next stage would be a sensation. Recall how they struggled against Ludogorets; this opponent is a head above their class. The visitors are on the winning way after the setback, so they will be on the break now. Let's bet on their clean win in this meeting.
